Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA616 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product applications. Designed as part of the trusted BA hanger series, this hanger delivers medium load capacity with solid sawn lumber and elevated load capacity when paired with engineered wood products. Its one-piece construction, full-height joist flange, and positive-angle nailing (PAN) system make it a reliable, cost-effective solution for moderate to higher load conditions in residential and commercial framing projects.
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: 6x16
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance
How It Works
The BA616 uses a minimum nailing configuration with positive-angle nailing (PAN) to address moderate load conditions, while a maximum nailing configuration supports higher structural loads. The full-height joist flange wraps the top chord of the supported member, preventing rotation and providing a stable, secure connection without the need for additional web stiffeners.

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
