The Simpson Strong-Tie BA414 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for reliable performance in both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. Designed as part of Simpson's BA series, this hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity when paired with engineered wood products. Its positive-angle nailing (PAN) design allows for minimum nailing to address moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing configurations support heavier loads - making it a versatile, cost-effective solution for a wide range of structural framing applications. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, the BA414 offers durable corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity for 4x14 nominal joist members.

Key Features

• Cost-effective one-piece design compared to welded hangers, reducing material and installation costs
• Full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners
• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) supports both minimum nailing for moderate loads and maximum nailing for higher load demands
• Compatible with engineered wood and solid sawn lumber for flexible application use
• Constructed from 12-gauge steel for robust structural strength
• G90 zinc galvanized coating provides reliable corrosion resistance
• Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members
• Sized for 4x14 nominal joist members

Approved Applications

• Engineered wood products (EWP) - supports higher load capacities when used with LVL, PSL, LSL, and similar engineered lumber
• Solid sawn lumber - suitable for medium load conditions in traditional framing
• Structural framing applications requiring a 4x14 nominal joist connection to a header or beam
• Applications where rotation prevention and elimination of web stiffeners are required
• Framing assemblies requiring top-flange hanger configurations

Installation

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Use minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions, or maximum nailing to support higher loads.

Options

• Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16").
  
• For modified hangers, fastener quantity listed in tables may need to increase depending on joist size, skew and slope. All modified hangers are 12 ga.
• Hangers may be modified for slopes and/or skews up to 45 deg.. The top flanges may be sloped as much as 35 deg. and may be open or closed up to 30 deg.. See Modifications and Associated Load Reductions under Specifications
