Product Description
The Simpson MIT9.5 Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 1-3/4 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood is a 16-gauge galvanized metal connector engineered by Simpson to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers in engineered wood framing. Designed to be installed before the joist is placed, this top-flange hanger delivers maximum down load capacity while requiring a minimum number of fasteners. The Funnel Flange design simplifies member placement, and the positive-angle nailing (PAN) feature is specifically developed for I-joists to minimize splitting and allow faster, more comfortable nailing - making this hanger a reliable choice for both residential and commercial engineered wood framing projects.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while allowing nailing from a better angle, so installation is faster and the joist connection stays intact
- Nail hole material is not removed - preserves the structural integrity of the connection at the nail point, maintaining a stronger, more reliable hold
- Funnel Flange design - guides the I-joist into position during installation, reducing placement difficulty and saving time on the job
- Optional triangle nail holes - allow increased uplift capacity when web stiffeners are properly secured, giving contractors added flexibility for demanding load conditions
- Optional PAT fastening - supports steel header applications, expanding the range of compatible framing assemblies without requiring a different hanger
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in moisture-prone framing environments
- Cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - delivers equivalent performance for standard 90 deg. I-joist-to-header connections at a lower installed cost
Why This Product
- Built for engineered wood framing - the MIT9.5 is purpose-designed for 1-3/4 in. x 9-1/2 in. I-joists, ensuring a precise fit and code-appropriate performance for engineered lumber applications where dimensional accuracy matters
- Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the top-flange, pre-set design combined with positive-angle nailing lets crews place and secure joists efficiently, reducing labor time without sacrificing down load capacity
- Versatile connection options - optional triangle nail holes for added uplift capacity and optional PAT fastening for steel headers mean this single hanger can adapt to a wider range of structural conditions on the same job site
- Durable corrosion-resistant construction - made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating in the United States, this connector is built to hold up in the framing environments where I-joist hangers are typically exposed to moisture during and after construction

Frequently Asked Questions
What size engineered wood member is the MIT9.5 designed to support?
The MIT9.5 is designed for an actual joist size of 1-3/4 in. x 9-1/2 in., making it compatible with standard engineered I-joist members of that dimension.
What fasteners are required to install the MIT9.5?
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.
What is the benefit of positive-angle nailing (PAN) on this hanger?
Positive-angle nailing minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while also permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. Importantly, the nail hole material is not removed, which preserves the integrity of the connection.
Can the MIT9.5 be used to increase uplift capacity?
Yes. The optional triangle nail holes on the MIT9.5 may be used for increased uplift capacity; however, optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners.
