Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a professional-grade structural connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn lumber and engineered wood beam applications. Built as a one-piece top-flange hanger, this heavy beam connector delivers dependable structural performance for demanding framing connections while simplifying installation compared to welded alternatives. The full-height joist flange actively prevents rotation under load, making it a trusted choice for contractors and builders tackling large-scale heavy beam framing projects.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting Design - Attaches to the top chord of the supporting member, enabling clean installation without the need for face fastening or a ledger board, which saves time on the job site.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation under load, a critical safeguard for maintaining structural integrity in heavy beam connections.
- Medium to High Load Capacity - Engineered to handle demanding load requirements in solid sawn and engineered wood applications, giving builders confidence in heavy structural framing scenarios.
- One-Piece Construction - Eliminates the complexity and cost of welded hangers while maintaining strong, reliable load transfer in heavy beam hanger installations.
- Galvanized Finish - Provides corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, supporting long-term structural reliability.
- Domestic Manufacturing - Produced in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards expected in professional structural framing applications.
Why This Product
- Purpose-Built for Heavy Beam Connections - Sized specifically for 2-1/2 in. wide by 22 in. tall beams, this hanger is designed for the exact dimensions contractors need in large solid sawn or engineered wood framing, eliminating guesswork and field modifications.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist and actively resists rotation under load, addressing one of the most critical failure points in heavy beam structural connections.
- Streamlined Top-Flange Installation - The top-flange design mounts to the top chord of the supporting member, making it faster and more straightforward to install than face-mount alternatives in solid sawn lumber and engineered wood framing projects.
- Simpson Quality in a Galvanized Package - Backed by the Simpson name and finished with a galvanized coating, this heavy beam top-flange hanger combines recognized structural connector engineering with corrosion resistance suited for demanding job site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What beam size is the HB2.56/22 designed to support?
The HB2.56/22 is specifically sized for heavy beams measuring 2-1/2 inches wide by 22 inches tall, making it suitable for large solid sawn or engineered wood beam connections requiring robust support.
How does the top-flange design differ from a face-mount hanger?
Unlike face-mount hangers that attach to the side of the supporting member, the top-flange design mounts to the top chord of the supporting member. This allows for streamlined installation and strong load transfer without requiring a ledger board or face fastening.
Does the full-height joist flange serve a structural purpose?
Yes. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to actively prevent rotation under load, which is a critical function in heavy beam connections where maintaining structural integrity is essential.
What material and gauge steel is used in the HB2.56/22?
The HB2.56/22 is constructed from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for durability in standard construction environments.
