Product Features
Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA614 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, the BA614 accommodates medium load conditions with solid sawn lumber and steps up to higher load capacities when paired with engineered wood products. The BA series supports flexible nailing configurations - minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) targets moderate load conditions, while maximum nailing is available to support heavier demands. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is sized specifically for nominal 6x14 members and delivers reliable performance in demanding structural applications.
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: 6x14
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance

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.
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

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What lumber types is the BA614 compatible with?
A: The BA614 is designed for both engineered wood products and solid sawn lumber applications. It carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and higher loads with engineered wood products.
Q: What nailing schedule is required for the BA614?
A: 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. Minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) targets moderate load conditions; maximum nailing supports higher loads.
Q: Does the BA614 require web stiffeners?
A: No. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminates the need for web stiffeners.
Q: What corrosion protection does the BA614 have?
A: The BA614 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, providing reliable
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size member is the BA614 designed to fit?
- The BA614 is sized specifically for nominal 6x14 lumber or engineered wood members. It is not a universal hanger - it is purpose-built for this single member size to ensure a proper structural fit.
- Can the BA614 be used with engineered wood products as well as solid sawn lumber?
- Yes. The BA614 is compatible with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products (EWP). It carries medium loads with solid sawn lumber and steps up to higher load capacities when paired with engineered wood products.
- What nails should be used to install the BA614?
- Install the BA614 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 hanger supports both minimum nailing with positive-angle nailing (PAN) for moderate load conditions and maximum nailing for higher load demands.
- Is the BA614 available for sloped or skewed installations?
- The standard BA614 is designed for square installations, but it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members. Contact your supplier to request a custom configuration for non-standard framing angles.
