JB/LB/B/BA/HHB Joist, Beam, and Purlin Hangers

The BA hanger is a cost effective hanger featuring min/max joist nailing option. Min Nailing featuring Positive Angle Nailing targets moderate load conditions whereas the Max Nailing generates capacities for higher loads. The unique two level embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange.

The newly improved B hanger offers wide versatility with enhanced load capacities.

See tables. See Hanger Options for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads.

Material: See tables.

Finish: BA, JB, LB, and B - Galvanized; HHB - all saddle hangers and all welded sloped and special hangers - Simpson Strong-Tie® gray paint. BA, LB, B and HHB may be ordered hot-dip galvanized, specify HDG.

Installation:

Use specified fasteners. See General Notes and nailer table.
LB, BA, B and HHB may be welded to steel headers with weld size to match material thickness (approximate thickness shown). The minimum required weld to the top flanges is 1/8" x 2" (1/8" x 1 1/2" for LB) fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 14 and 12 gauge and 3/16" x 2" fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab for 7 gauge. Distribute the weld equally on both top flanges. Welding cancels the top and face nailing requirements. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area should be well-ventilated (see welding information). Weld on applications produce the maximum allowable down load listed. For uplift loads refer to T-WELDUPLFT.
Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately. Check TF dimension, nail length and nail location on ledger.
Refer to T-SLOPEJST for information regarding load reductions on selected hangers which can be used without modification to support joists which have shallow slopes (≤3/4:12).

Options:

B and HHB

Other widths are available; specify W dimension (the minimum W dimension is 1 9/16" for B and 3 1/4" for HHB).
See Hanger Options. BA, JB and LB hangers cannot be modified. Use LBV as an alternative for the JB/LB.

Uplift loads are based on DF/SP lumber and have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. For normal loading applications such as cantilever construction refer to Simpson Strong-Tie® Connector Selector™ software or conservatively divide the uplift load by 1.6. For SPF use 0.86 x DF/SP uplift load.
Code values are based on DF/SP header species.
Where noted for single-ply joist hangers use 6-10dx1 1/2" nails.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes.

Table

Based on an additional 1/32" beyond the normal 1/8" deflection limit.
Uplift values are for DF/SP members only. Refer to technical bulletin T-NAILERUPLFT for SPF values.
Refer to proper nailer installation.
Refer to technical bulletin T-NAILERUPLFT for higher uplift value options.
B hangers require 6-10dx1 1/2" joist nails to achieve published loads. For joist members 2 1/2" or wider, 16dx2 1/2" joist nails should be installed for additional uplift loads on the 3x and 4x nailer applications of 970 lbs. and 1010 lbs. respectively.
Attachment of nailer to supporting member is the responsibility of the Designer.
