The Simpson S/LBV4.18/14 High-Capacity Top-Flange Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to deliver the strength and performance required in cold-formed steel framing applications. Designed to support (2) 2 in. x 14 in. cold-formed steel joists, this top-flange hanger installs to structural steel or cold-formed steel beams using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds - providing contractors and structural engineers with a versatile, load-rated connection solution across a wide range of CFS project types, from light commercial builds to large-scale framing applications.

Key Features

• Precision-formed top-flange design - ensures dimensional accuracy and proper bearing area, so connections are correctly positioned and structurally sound without field adjustment guesswork.
• High-capacity construction with 14 ga. (68 mil) steel - delivers the structural strength needed for demanding cold-formed steel joist applications where load performance is critical.
• Multiple fastening options (screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds) - lets installers connect to either cold-formed steel members or structural steel beams, keeping the same hanger useful across different supporting structure types.
• Load-rated, tested, and code listed - provides the documentation and compliance assurance that engineers, inspectors, and project specifications require on professional CFS jobsites.
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating - offers corrosion resistance appropriate for cold-formed steel framing environments, helping protect the connection over the long term.

Why This Product

• Built for CFS framing reliability - Simpson Strong-Tie precision forming and quality control processes are reflected in every S/LBV4.18/14, giving buyers a hanger engineered specifically for the dimensional requirements of cold-formed steel construction rather than adapted from a general-purpose connector.
• Versatile installation compatibility - the ability to attach to both cold-formed steel and structural steel using screws, powder-actuated fasteners, or welds means this hanger adapts to the supporting structure on site, reducing the need to source multiple connector types for a single project.
• Code-listed performance for project compliance - with load-rated and tested credentials, specifiers and contractors can confidently include this hanger in construction documents and expect it to satisfy inspection and code requirements without additional validation.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term integrity - the G90 galvanized coating protects against the corrosion concerns common in CFS environments, supporting the durability of the structural connection throughout the life of the building.
