Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie BA7.12/26 is a top-flange joist hanger engineered for double 3-1/2 in. x 26 in. engineered wood members. Part of the trusted BA series, this hanger delivers a cost-effective solution for medium to higher load applications in both engineered wood and solid sawn lumber framing. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, the BA7.12/26 is designed for durability, versatility, and code-compliant performance across a wide range of structural framing conditions.
Features
- The two-level embossment at the top flange provides increased stiffness
- The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and eliminate the need for web stiffeners
- Minimum nailing targets moderate load demands, whereas maximum nailing allows higher loads
- Available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members
- Actual joist size: Double 3-1/2 in. x 26 in.
- Made from 12-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size member is the BA7.12/26 designed to support?
- The BA7.12/26 is designed specifically for a double 3-1/2 in. x 26 in. engineered wood or solid sawn lumber member. It is a top-flange hanger, so it is intended for use where the hanger seats over the top of the supporting header or beam.
- What nails should be used to install this hanger?
- Install the BA7.12/26 using 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 offers minimum and maximum nailing options, allowing you to target moderate load demands with minimum nailing or achieve higher load capacity with maximum nailing.
- What material and coating is used on the BA7.12/26?
- The BA7.12/26 is made from 12-gauge steel and features a zinc galvanized G90 coating for extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Can the BA7.12/26 be used with sloped or skewed framing conditions?
- The standard BA7.12/26 is designed for square (non-sloped, non-skewed) installations. However, it is available for special order to accommodate sloped and/or skewed members, so contact your supplier if your application requires an angled configuration.
