Detail to Avoid
Deep beam hangers that have connectors installed in the side plates toward the top of the supported beam may promote splits at the connector group should the wood member shrink and lift from the bottom of the beam hanger.
Alternative Detail
Provide a lower side plate connection for the supported beam, and if the top of the beam is not laterally restrained by other means such as decking or sheathing, keeper plates or separate clip angles without a fastener should be used.
