Product Description
The Simpson ITS2.56/14 Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is an engineered wood hanger built to support I-joist connections for members sized 2-1/2 in. to 2-9/16 in. x 14 in. Designed around Simpson's innovative ITS platform, this hanger installs faster and uses fewer nails than other EWP top-flange hangers, making it a practical choice for contractors and builders looking to reduce labor time and hardware costs on engineered wood framing projects. The Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange design work together to allow standard joist installation without requiring joist nails, setting a new standard for efficiency in top-flange hanger applications.
Key Features
- Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - firmly secures a wide range of I-joist flanges without extra adjustment, reducing fitment issues on the job site
- No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - cuts installation steps and fastener count, directly lowering labor time and material costs
- Funnel Flange design - guides the I-joist into position quickly, speeding up placement and keeping installation consistent across multiple bays
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides a strong, reliable connection capable of handling the demands of engineered wood framing applications
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance for long-term durability in typical construction environments
- Install with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails - uses a standard fastener size that integrates easily into existing workflows without specialized hardware
Why This Product
- Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the ITS2.56/14 installs faster and uses fewer nails than other EWP top-flange hangers, meaning crews spend less time per connection and more time moving the project forward
- Eliminates joist nailing on standard installations - because no joist nailing is required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners, this hanger simplifies the installation process and reduces the total number of fasteners needed on a job
- Precision fit for engineered lumber - the Strong-Grip seat is specifically designed for I-joists with flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in., ensuring a secure, consistent connection suited to modern engineered wood products
- Built for lasting performance - G90 zinc galvanized steel construction combines 18-gauge strength with proven corrosion resistance, supporting reliable long-term performance in residential and commercial framing applications
