The PFDB Post-Frame Top-Flange Saddle Hanger is designed to provide strong, reliable support for 2x joists in post-frame construction. Engineered for superior load capacity and easy installation, this hanger is ideal for agricultural, commercial, and residential applications where joists intersect with wood or concrete beams. The PFDB hanger is precision-formed to ensure a secure, code-compliant connection that resists movement and uplift.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a durable galvanization, this hanger offers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term structural integrity. Its top-flange saddle design ensures a stable connection across the top of the supporting beam, providing an efficient load path and enhanced strength for framing applications.

Key Features:

• High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel for superior load-bearing capacity.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Hot-dip galvanized coating enhances durability and longevity in demanding environments.
• Top-Flange Saddle Design: Provides stable, uniform support for 2x joists while simplifying installation.
• Code-Compliant Engineering: Meets industry standards for post-frame construction, ensuring a secure and durable connection.
• Versatile Application: Compatible with wood and concrete beams, making it ideal for multiple framing scenarios.

Installation:

• Face Nails (Joist Connection): Attach the joist to the hanger using common nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws for increased holding power.
• Top-Flange Attachment (Beam Connection): Secure the top flange to the supporting beam using structural nails or screws, ensuring proper embedment for maximum strength.
• Concrete Applications: When attaching to a concrete beam, use mechanical or adhesive anchors as specified by the project engineer.

Applications

• Post-Frame Buildings: Ensures secure joist support in pole barns, agricultural structures, and storage facilities.
• Commercial & Residential Framing: Provides strong, stable connections for decks, pavilions, and mezzanines.
• Concrete & Wood Beam Connections: Works effectively in both wood-to-wood and wood-to-concrete framing applications.
• Load-Bearing Joist Connections: Ideal for structural projects requiring robust lateral and vertical load resistance.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
