TECHNICAL BULLETIN

The Complete Line of BA, LBV, B and HB Hangers

Page 1 of 8

The improved BA, LBV, B and HB hangers for solid sawn and engineered wood products offer higher load capacities
and greater options for modifications. This document provides a comprehensive list of these hangers, including those
models not shown in the Wood Construction Connectors catalog, their available modification combinations and
their associated reduction factors.
To determine which hanger best fits your needs, consider the following features:
For standard applications (no slopes or skews), the LBV and BA feature positive-angle nailing.
Positive-angle nailing provides an angled nail connection to the I-joist bottom
flange without the need for web stiffeners in many situations.
The BA two-level embossment adds strength to the top flange while minimizing the profile.
The BA min nailing option allows the hanger to be used with I-joists without web stiffeners.
The BA max nailing option provides additional uplift and download
(web stiffeners required if using I-joists).
FINISH: BA, LBV, B and HB Galvanized. All saddle versions are Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint.
BA, LBV, B and HB may be ordered hot-dip galvanized; specify HDG when ordering.
INSTALLATION:
LBV
Use specified fasteners. Refer to the current Wood Construction Connectors catalog
for general notes, limited warranty and additional information.
BA, LBV, B and HB may be used for weld-on applications. Weld size to match material thickness. The minimum
required weld is a 2" long fillet weld to each side of each top flange tab. Distribute the weld equally on both top
flanges. Welds must terminate within 14" of the supporting edge of the beam. Welding replaces the header nailing
requirements. Consult the code for special considerations when welding galvanized steel. The area should be
well ventilated as welding galvanized steel may produce harmful fumes; follow proper welding procedures and
safety precautions. Welding should be in accordance with A.W.S. standards. Weld-on applications produce the
maximum allowable download listed. See technical bulletin T-C-WELDUPLFT for uplift on welded applications.
I-Joists require web stiffeners when supported by B or HB hangers or when used with max nailing option
for BA or LBV hangers.
Ledgers must be evaluated for each application separately. Check TF dimension and nail length on ledger.

DF/SCL
I-Joist

1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.

2. Uplift loads are based on DF/SP lumber and have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
For SPF use 0.86 x DF/SP uplift load.
3. When I-joist is used as header, all nails must be 10dx1 and allowable loads assume flanges that are at least 1" thick made of Douglas Fir, LVL or TimberStrand LSL.
For other flange thicknesses, apply load adjustment factors found in the table on page 5.
4. LBV uplift load may be increased by installing additional joist nails. See table on page 5.
5. Other nail schedules and loads are listed in the current Wood Construction Connectors catalog.
6. NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 = 0.148" dia. x 1" long. See the current Wood Construction Connectors catalog for other nail
sizes and information.
7. For Height Adjustment Only: Web stiffeners not required for the LBV unless the hanger is sloped or skewed. See pages 7-8 for more information on web stiffeners and modified
hangers.
8. Modified hangers may have reduced capacity, see pages 7-8.

MODIFICATION OPTIONS
The following pages describe the available combinations of modifications and the load reduction factors for Simpson Strong-Tie
modified B series hangers. A qualified Designer must always evaluate each connection, including header and joist limitations,
before specifying the product. Hanger configurations, height and fastener schedules may vary from the tables depending on the
joist size, skew and slope. Modifications are not available on BA hangers.
LOADS: MODIFIED HANGERS HAVE REDUCED LOADS. For multiple modifications on the same connector,
use the (single) reduction factor that yields the lowest design loads (i.e. reduction factors are not cumulative).
FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Fastener quantities for modified hangers will typically increase beyond the amount specified
in the standard hanger tables.
Web stiffeners are required for I-joists when using modified hangers.
Fill all holes with the table-specified fastener types.
Bevel cut the carried member for skewed applications.
Plumb cut the carried member for sloped applications.

Angle

TO ORDER: Use the abbreviations below to order modified hangers. The example shows an LBV2.56/11.88
hanger and illustrates most available options; most special hangers have only a few of these features.
SADDLE HANGERS: Saddle hanger versions are available for selected models. An asterisk (*) is shown next to
the name in the table when available. B-series saddle versions have limited options. They may be skewed, sloped
and have top flange sloped. Only one skew angle can be used for both sides (mirror image). Only one slope angle
can be used for both sides. Reduction factors and minimum heights apply per the tables on pages 1-6, and table on
page 8. Top flange open/closed option is not available. Modified saddle versions wider than 3.56 inches require a minimum
height of 14 inches. To order a saddle option, add D to the end of the series name in the model number (e.g. LBVD1.56X).

HEIGHT FOR SLOPED HANGERS:

Height (H1) is the joist height before the plumb cut has been made.
Net Height (Net H) is the joist height after the plumb cut has been made.
Provide H1 when ordering a connector if height is different than shown in the table.
Simpson Strong-Tie will calculate the Net H dimension based on the formula of H1/cos angle.

1. Use this table to calculate allowable loads for modified hangers. Apply the reduction factor to the appropriate allowable load
for the header condition including headers.
2. B and HB hangers less than 212" wide are assumed to use 10dx112 joist nails.
3. B and HB hangers 212" or wider are assumed to use 16dx212 or 16d common nails in the joist.
4. For B and HB hangers with TF Down that are less than 538" in width, minimum hanger height is 1114 inches.
5. These hangers may deflect an additional 132" at design load.
6. For HB hangers on nailers, 100% of allowable nailer uplift value may be used. (See nailer table)
7. For hangers with slope and skew less than 14" use 1150 lbs. for B hangers and 1430 lbs. for HB hangers.
8. In the table the term x refers to the angle of the modification.
9. For top flange closed option, install upper nails slightly angled downward to avoid interference with top flange.
