Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA612 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product applications. Designed as a cost-effective, one-piece alternative to welded hangers, this 12-gauge galvanized steel hanger is built to handle medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads when paired with engineered wood products. Its full-height joist flange design captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation and eliminating the need for web stiffeners - making it a reliable, efficient choice for structural framing connections involving 6x12 members.
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
- Nominal joist size: 6x12

How It Works
The BA612 supports variable load conditions through its flexible nailing options. Minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) targets moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing accommodates higher load demands. This versatility makes the BA612 adaptable across a range of structural framing scenarios without the need for multiple hanger models.
