Beam Hangers 67
Mass Timber Beam Hangers and Structural Connectors
KNAPP Connectors provides a full range of mass timber beam hangers and structural connection systems engineered for heavy timber, glulam, and CLT construction. Designed for speed, strength, and architectural precision, these pre-engineered connectors deliver reliable post-to-beam and beam-to-beam joints for modern timber buildings.
Manufactured from galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, KNAPP beam hangers are engineered and tested to meet international structural standards. They support efficient prefabrication, precise installation, and long-term performance in engineered wood structures worldwide.
Engineered for Modern Timber Construction
Each connection system is optimized for CNC machining, prefabrication, and modular assembly, enabling fast on-site erection with consistent tolerances. Concealed geometries maintain fire resistance and clean architectural lines while ensuring high load capacity and minimal joint slip over time.
- High-load capacity for CLT, glulam, and LVL assemblies
- Pre-engineered performance verified through international testing
- Fire-ready designs suitable for R30 and R60 assemblies
- Precision fabrication using CNC or handheld routing equipment
- Adjustable and self-tightening interfaces that prevent joint movement
- Wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and wood-to-concrete compatibility
ICC-ES Evaluation for RICON S Series
Select models within the KNAPP beam hanger range, specifically the RICON S VS Series, have been evaluated under ICC-ES Report ESR-4300, held by KNAPP GmbH (Austria).
This report confirms compliance with the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) for structural applications.
Evaluation and technical documentation are available through our authorized North American distributor network.
Applications
- Post-to-beam and beam-to-beam connections in glulam and CLT frames
- Transfer beams, ledgers, and girder seats in commercial mass timber projects
- Structural timber frames for civic, educational, and mixed-use buildings
- Prefabricated and modular timber construction requiring code-aligned connectors
Trusted by Architects, Engineers, and Fabricators
KNAPP beam hanger systems are trusted across the mass timber, structural engineering, and architectural sectors for their repeatable accuracy and design flexibility. Whether specifying connections for large-scale timber buildings or custom post and beam assemblies, KNAPP Connectors deliver the reliability, efficiency, and precision demanded by today’s construction professionals.
