Simpson JB26 7" x 11-1/4" Flange Joist Hanger

The SIMPSON JB26 7" x 11-1/4" Flange Joist Hanger is a metal connector designed to support and connect a wood beam or joist to a wood structure such as a wall or header. The hanger is made of galvanized steel for added durability and resistance to corrosion.

The flange of the hanger is designed to be fastened to the supporting structure with nails, screws, or bolts, while the seat of the hanger supports the joist or beam. The JB26 hanger has a height of 7 inches and a length of 11-1/4 inches, making it suitable for larger dimensional lumber.

Using a joist hanger like the SIMPSON JB26 provides a stronger and more reliable connection than simply resting the beam or joist on top of the supporting structure. The hanger also allows for a more secure and efficient installation process, as it eliminates the need for complex carpentry work to make precise cuts and joints.
