Product Description
The Simpson MIU1.81/16 MIU Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a precision-engineered connector from Simpson built for commercial and high-load I-joist applications. Designed to support a 1-3/4 in. x 16 in. engineered wood member, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable structural connection without requiring web stiffeners - simplifying installation on demanding projects where efficiency and performance both matter.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while allowing nailing from a more accessible angle, saving time during installation
- No web stiffeners required - engineered specifically for commercial and high-load I-joist applications, eliminating an extra installation step and reducing material costs
- Fixed, non-modifiable design - manufactured to precise specifications so the hanger maintains its rated load capacity and structural integrity as intended
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed to handle high-load structural connections in commercial framing applications
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping protect the connection over the long term in varied job site conditions
Why This Product
- Built for high-load commercial work - the MIU series is purpose-designed for demanding I-joist applications, making it a dependable choice when standard hangers fall short on commercial framing projects
- Faster, cleaner installation - positive-angle nailing geometry reduces flange splitting risk and lets crews nail from a better angle, cutting installation time on large-scale jobs
- No extra hardware required - because web stiffeners are not needed, contractors can complete the connection with fewer components and less prep work at the header
- Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of protection, supporting the long-term durability of the structural connection in real-world conditions
