Product Description
The Simpson HB5.50/20 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is an engineered structural connector designed to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood applications. Built as a one-piece hanger from 10 gauge steel with a galvanized finish, this heavy beam hanger offers a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to welded hangers. The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, preventing rotation and ensuring a stable, secure connection in demanding structural assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What beam size is the Simpson HB5.50/20 designed to support?
- The HB5.50/20 is specifically sized for a heavy beam measuring 5-1/4 inches wide by 20 inches deep, making it suitable for solid sawn and engineered wood members of that dimension.
- How does the top-flange design differ from a standard joist hanger installation?
- Rather than face-mounting to the side of a supporting member, this hanger is engineered to hang from the top flange of the supporting member. This provides a clean installation and a structurally sound connection without requiring welded components.
- What material and finish is used on the HB5.50/20?
- The hanger is constructed from 10 gauge steel with a factory-applied galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. A hot-dip galvanized finish option is also available for applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection.
- What prevents the beam from rotating once installed in the HB5.50/20?
- The hanger features a full-height joist flange that captures the top chord of the joist, which actively prevents rotation under load and ensures a stable, secure connection in demanding structural assemblies.
