Product Description
The Simpson S/B 12 ga. High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger for 1-5/8 in. x 6 in. Cold-Formed Steel Joist is a precision-engineered connector from Simpson that supports cold-formed steel joists when installed to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams. Built from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger brings together dimensional accuracy, versatile attachment options, and documented load-rated performance to meet the demands of cold-formed steel (CFS) framing applications of every scale.
Key Features
- Precision-formed design for dimensional accuracy - ensures proper bearing area and consistent connection alignment, reducing the risk of installation error on the jobsite.
- High-capacity, top-flange configuration - delivers strong support for cold-formed steel joists while the top-flange mounting keeps the hanger flush with the beam, maintaining clean framing geometry.
- Multiple attachment methods supported - connects to cold-formed steel members with screws or to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds, giving installers flexibility across different structural conditions.
- Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides documented performance data and code compliance, simplifying approval on inspected projects and giving engineers verifiable design values.
- Sized specifically for 1-5/8 in. x 6 in. cold-formed steel joists - purpose-built fit means no guesswork, no shimming, and a secure, properly seated connection every time.
- Made from 97 mil (12 ga.) steel - heavy-gauge construction supports high loads while maintaining the structural integrity expected in light-gauge steel framing applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides corrosion resistance suited to cold-formed steel framing environments, helping protect the connection over the life of the structure.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for cold-formed steel construction - unlike generic hangers, this connector is designed from the ground up for CFS applications, with precision forming and quality control that ensure proper bearing area and connection integrity for 1-5/8 in. x 6 in. steel joists.
- Versatile enough for mixed structural conditions - the ability to attach to both cold-formed steel members with screws and to structural steel with powder-actuated fasteners or welds makes this hanger a practical choice on jobsites where supporting member types vary.
- Backed by load ratings, testing, and code listing - for contractors and engineers who need documented performance assurance, this hanger provides the verified data required to meet project specifications and pass inspection with confidence.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 zinc galvanized coating helps protect the connector in the demanding environments typical of cold-formed steel framing, supporting the durability of the overall structure over time.
