Product Description
The Simpson Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a single-piece connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood product framing applications. Built by Simpson for demanding structural conditions, this heavy beam hanger mounts to the top of the supporting member and features a full-height joist flange that firmly captures the top chord, preventing rotation and maintaining alignment where structural integrity is critical.
Key Features
- Top-Flange Mounting Design - Installs directly to the top of the supporting member, simplifying placement during heavy beam framing and eliminating the need for face-mount fastening in top-chord bearing applications.
- Full-Height Joist Flange - Captures the top chord of the supported member to actively resist rotation, keeping beams correctly positioned under load and reducing the risk of structural misalignment over time.
- Single-Piece Construction - Eliminates welded joints and multi-part assemblies, giving installers a straightforward connector that handles medium to high load demands without added complexity on the job site.
- Galvanized Steel Finish - Provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of interior framing environments, with a hot-dip galvanized option available for applications requiring enhanced protection.
- Dual Application Compatibility - Approved for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products, making this hanger a versatile choice across residential and commercial heavy beam framing projects.
Why This Product
- Engineered for Heavy Beam Demands - Designed specifically for medium to high load transfer in heavy beam applications, this connector is built to perform where standard hangers fall short, supporting structural confidence in critical framing connections.
- Versatile Across Framing Systems - Compatibility with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood products means this hanger adapts to the materials already on your project, reducing the need to source multiple connector types.
- Rotation Prevention Built In - The full-height joist flange actively holds the top chord in place, addressing one of the most common points of failure in beam framing connections and helping maintain alignment throughout the life of the structure.
- Trusted Simpson Quality, Made in the United States - Backed by the Simpson name and domestic manufacturing standards, this top flange hanger delivers consistent quality for contractors and builders who need reliable performance on every job.
