Product Description
The Simpson BA5.12/18 BA Top-Flange Joist Hanger is engineered for use with double 2-1/2 in. x 18 in. engineered wood and solid sawn lumber applications. This top-flange hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and higher load capacity with engineered wood products. The BA series features a positive-angle nailing (PAN) system that accommodates both minimum nailing for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing configurations to support higher structural demands - all in a cost-effective, one-piece formed design.
Features
- Cost-effective one-piece design compared to welded hangers
- A full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners
- Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members
- Actual joist size: Double 2-1/2 in. x 18 in.
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Approved Applications
- Engineered wood product framing applications requiring top-flange joist support
- Solid sawn lumber framing applications at moderate to higher load conditions
- Installations requiring positive-angle nailing (PAN) for secure fastener placement

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. The positive-angle nailing (PAN) design guides fasteners into the correct angle for reliable load transfer. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation without requiring additional web stiffeners.
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
