Product Description
The Simpson IUS2.56/16 IUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a hybrid connector engineered to support 2-1/2 in. to 2-9/16 in. x 16 in. engineered wood members, including shallow-flange I-joists. By combining the structural benefits of face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single 18-gauge steel bracket, it delivers a reliable, tight connection beneath the joist, rafter, or beam - making it a practical choice for residential framing, floor systems, and structural wood assemblies where both strength and installation speed matter.
Key Features
- Strong-Grip seat with easy-to-reach face nails and self-jigging locator tabs - speeds up installation by keeping the hanger correctly positioned and reducing the need for extra measuring or adjustment on the job site
- Snap-in I-joist positioning - fasten the hanger to the header first, then simply drop the I-joist in and snap it into place, cutting down on steps and keeping work moving efficiently
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - gives framers the flexibility of a face-mount hanger combined with the holding advantages of a top-mount, all in one connector compatible with shallow-flange I-joists
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, consistent bracket that maintains shape during handling and installation, supporting dependable load transfer at the connection point
- G90 Zinc Galvanized finish - adds a layer of corrosion resistance that helps the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, extending the service life of the connection
- Installed with 10d common nails - uses a widely available fastener type so there is no need to source specialty hardware to complete the installation
Why This Product
- Two hanger designs, one product - the hybrid face-mount and top-mount configuration means this single connector handles applications where other hangers might require a choice between two separate product types, reducing the chance of specifying the wrong hanger for a shallow-flange I-joist assembly
- Built for speed on the job - the Strong-Grip seat, self-jigging locator tabs, and snap-in joist placement all work together to reduce the time spent positioning and fastening each connection, which adds up across a full floor or roof framing system
- Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating makes this hanger suitable for framing environments where moisture is present, helping protect the structural connection over the long term without requiring a specialty coated product
- Made in the United States by Simpson - backed by the engineering and quality controls of one of the most widely recognized names in structural connectors, giving builders and inspectors confidence in the product at the point of installation
