Product Description
The Simpson MIT3516 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-5/16 in. x 16 in. Engineered Wood by Simpson Strong-Tie is an integral structural connector engineered to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers. Designed as a top-flange hanger for engineered wood, it delivers maximum downward load capacity while requiring a minimum number of fasteners, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for I-joist framing applications. The hanger is installed before the joist is placed, and its Funnel Flange design allows for easier placement of members on the jobsite.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle
- With positive-angle nailing, the nail hole material is not removed
- Optional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity; optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners
- Cost-effective solution for standard 90 deg. connections in comparison to welded hangers
- Features optional fastening with PAT for steel applications/header
- Actual joist size: 2-5/16 in. x 16 in.
- Made from 16-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of joist is the Simpson MIT3516 designed to support?
- The Simpson MIT3516 is specifically designed to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers. It is engineered for use with engineered wood members measuring 2-5/16 in. x 16 in., making it well-suited for modern engineered lumber framing systems.
- What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter?
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a design feature specifically created for I-joists that allows nails to be driven at a favorable angle, minimizing splitting of the flanges and enabling faster, more efficient installation. Importantly, the nail hole material is not removed, which helps maintain the structural integrity of the connection.
- What fasteners are required to install the MIT3516?
- Installation requires 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. For steel header applications, optional fastening with PAT is also available.
- What corrosion protection does the MIT3516 provide?
- The MIT3516 is coated with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, providing an extra layer of corrosion resistance that helps protect the connector in demanding construction environments.
