Product Description
The Simpson HB612 Top-Flange Heavy Beam Hanger is a heavy-duty connector engineered to carry medium to high loads in solid sawn and engineered wood framing applications. Its full-height joist flange captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation, keeping structural members aligned under demanding load conditions. Built from a single piece of 10-gauge steel, this top-flange hanger delivers the structural performance of welded alternatives at a more practical cost - making it a dependable choice for residential and commercial beam and joist connections alike.
Key Features
- One-piece stamped construction - eliminates the complexity and expense of welded hangers while maintaining reliable performance in high-load framing applications
- Full-height joist flange design - captures the top chord of the joist to prevent rotation and maintain structural alignment under load
- Sized for nominal 6x12 members - provides a precise, secure fit for solid sawn and engineered wood joists and beams in that dimensional range
- Made from 10-gauge steel - delivers the thickness and rigidity needed to handle medium to high structural loads
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending service life in construction environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Available for sloped and/or skewed member applications via special order - accommodates complex framing conditions beyond standard square connections
Why This Product
- Cost-effective strength for heavy framing - the efficient one-piece design handles medium to high loads without the premium cost associated with welded beam hangers, making it a practical solution for budget-conscious structural projects
- Built-in rotation prevention - the full-height joist flange actively captures the top chord, addressing a critical structural concern and reducing the risk of joist movement or instability over time
- Versatile fit for solid sawn and engineered wood - compatibility with both material types means this heavy beam hanger works across a broad range of modern framing scenarios without requiring a product swap
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this hanger suitable for construction environments where moisture and the elements put ordinary hardware at risk
