Product Description
The Simpson MIU1.81/14 MIU Galvanized Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger by Simpson is built for commercial and high-load engineered wood framing, providing a strong, reliable face-mount connection for 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. I-joists. Engineered specifically for heavy-duty I-joist applications, this hanger eliminates the need for web stiffeners while delivering consistent, code-compliant performance on demanding structural projects.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle, keeping your crew working faster with fewer callbacks.
- No web stiffeners required - designed for commercial and high-load I-joist applications without additional reinforcement, reducing material costs and simplifying installation.
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed for heavy-load framing connections in demanding commercial and residential applications.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this face-mount hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Cannot be field-modified - manufactured to precise dimensions for the 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. member size, ensuring consistent, code-compliant connections every time without the risk of installer alterations compromising performance.
Why This Product
- Eliminates the need for web stiffeners - the MIU series is specifically engineered for commercial and high-load I-joist applications without requiring web stiffeners, saving time and reducing the number of components needed on the job site.
- Faster installation through better nailing geometry - positive-angle nailing allows crews to drive fasteners from a more natural angle, reducing fatigue and speeding up the framing process on large-scale projects.
- Built to last in tough conditions - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, helping this engineered wood connector maintain its structural integrity over time.
- Precision-manufactured for exact fit - fixed dimensions matched to the 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. I-joist size mean no guesswork on the job site, giving contractors confidence in every face-mount connection they make.
