Product Description
The Simpson HB5.50/9.5 Top Flange Hanger for Heavy Beam is a one-piece top-flange connector engineered by Simpson to handle medium to high loads in both solid sawn and engineered wood framing. Sized specifically for 5-1/4 x 9-1/2 heavy beam applications, this hanger delivers structural reliability and installation efficiency where robust beam-to-header connections are required.
Key Features
- Top-flange design for medium to high load applications - positions the hanger at the top chord of the framing member, making it well suited for heavy beam construction where load transfer and connection strength are critical.
- Full-height joist flange - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, resulting in a more stable and secure connection between framing members throughout the life of the structure.
- One-piece construction - eliminates the need for welding, giving builders a cost-effective alternative that still meets the structural performance demands of heavy beam applications.
- 10-gauge steel fabrication - provides the robust strength and durability needed to support demanding loads in residential and commercial wood framing projects.
- Standard galvanized finish with hot-dip galvanized option available - offers corrosion resistance suitable for a range of environments, with the upgraded hot-dip option providing enhanced protection where conditions are more demanding.
- Compatible with solid sawn and engineered wood - gives framers flexibility to use the hanger across a variety of common construction materials without requiring a separate connector for each application.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built sizing for heavy beam work - the 5-1/4 x 9-1/2 configuration means the hanger fits precisely where it is needed, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of a mismatched connection in load-bearing assemblies.
- Cost savings without structural compromise - the one-piece design delivers the load capacity of a welded hanger at a lower cost, making it a practical choice for projects where budget and performance both matter.
- Versatile finish options for different job site conditions - the availability of both standard galvanized and hot-dip galvanized finishes means this connector can be matched to the corrosion-resistance requirements of the specific environment.
- Trusted engineering from Simpson - backed by a brand with a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, this hanger is designed for solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications where connection integrity is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of construction is the HB5.50/9.5 designed for?
The HB5.50/9.5 is designed for use with both solid sawn and engineered wood applications, supporting medium to high load requirements in heavy beam construction.
How does the full-height joist flange benefit installation?
The full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist, effectively preventing rotation and providing a more secure, stable connection between framing members.
What gauge steel is used in the HB5.50/9.5, and what finish does it have?
The HB5.50/9.5 is fabricated from 10-gauge steel with a standard galvanized finish. A hot-dip galvanized finish is also available for enhanced corrosion resistance in more demanding environments.
Why choose a one-piece hanger over a welded hanger?
The one-piece design of the HB series eliminates the need for welding, resulting in a more cost-effective solution while still delivering the structural performance required for heavy beam applications.
