Product Description
The Simpson CBH Concealed Glulam Beam Hanger (2-3/8 in. x 9-3/4 in.) is engineered specifically for CNC-manufactured glulam framing systems, where beams arrive at the jobsite in precise lengths with hangers preinstalled and ready for connection. Built from 3-gauge steel with an electrogalvanized finish, this heavy-duty concealed hanger delivers structural performance for joist-to-beam and joist-to-column applications - all while keeping the connection completely hidden for a clean architectural look. Installation is straightforward using readily available Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, and the +/- 1/32 in. beam length tolerance on each end reduces fit-up frustration in the field.
Key Features
- Fully concealed design - hides the connection from view, supporting architectural aesthetics without sacrificing structural integrity
- 1-hr and 2-hr fire resistance ratings per ASTM E119 - meets fire-rated assembly requirements, expanding the range of code-compliant applications where this hanger can be specified
- Inter-story drift performance tested to over 2% - provides confidence in lateral load performance for buildings in higher seismic or wind zones
- +/- 1/32 in. beam length tolerance on each end - accommodates minor dimensional variation in glulam beams so installers spend less time adjusting and more time connecting
- Multiple router options available - gives contractors flexibility to match the slot preparation method to their jobsite workflow and available tooling
- Code-listed per ICC-ESR-2552 - simplifies the approval process with inspectors by providing a recognized, independently verified code reference
- Installs with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - uses widely available fasteners, eliminating the need to source specialty hardware before installation can begin
- 3-gauge steel construction with electrogalvanized finish - delivers the thickness and corrosion resistance expected in demanding structural framing applications
Why This Product
- Built for modern glulam construction workflows - the CBH concealed hanger is purpose-designed to work with CNC-manufactured glulam beams that arrive prepped and ready, fitting seamlessly into precision prefabrication processes rather than requiring field modification
- Dual fire ratings support more project types - achieving both 1-hr and 2-hr fire resistance ratings per ASTM E119 means a single hanger product can be specified across a broader range of occupancy types and fire-rated assembly requirements
- Structural and aesthetic goals addressed together - the concealed connection satisfies architects and engineers simultaneously, eliminating the usual trade-off between exposed hardware and visual finish quality in timber-frame and heavy-timber projects
- Backed by independent code listing - ICC-ESR-2552 code listing and independently tested drift performance give specifiers, contractors, and inspectors a verified reference point, reducing back-and-forth during plan review and inspection

Frequently Asked Questions
What screws are required to install the CBH2.37X9.75, and are they included?
Screws are not included with this pack. For a joist-to-beam application, each of the 10 connections requires (23) Strong-Drive SDS25300 screws and (23) Strong-Drive SDS25600 screws. For a joist-to-column application, each connection requires (46) Strong-Drive SDS25600 screws. Both screw types are Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are readily available separately.
What fire resistance ratings does the CBH concealed hanger carry?
The CBH has achieved 1-hour and 2-hour fire resistance ratings tested in accordance with ASTM E119. It is also code-listed per ICC-ESR-2552, providing verified compliance for applications where fire-rated performance is required.
How many hangers and backplates are included in this 10-pack, and how many connections can be made?
This pack includes (20) backplates, which are sufficient to complete (10) connections. The hanger measures 2-3/8 in. wide by 9-3/4 in. tall and is designed for glulam beams of matching dimensions.
What material and finish is used on the CBH2.37X9.75 hanger?
The hanger is made from heavy 3-gauge steel and features an electro-galvanized finish for lasting durability. The concealed design also contributes to architectural aesthetics in addition to its structural and fire-rated performance.
