The Simpson MIU2.1/11 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector built for commercial, high-load, and double I-joist applications, designed to securely support 2-1/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. I-joists with a reliable face-mount installation. Engineered by Simpson for demanding structural work, this hanger combines time-saving installation features with the load-carrying performance required on professional job sites.

Key Features

• No web stiffeners required for standard installations - reduces material and labor costs on typical jobs, keeping your workflow moving without extra prep steps.
• Positive-Angle Nailing (PAN) technology - allows fasteners to be driven at an improved angle relative to the I-joist flange, minimizing the risk of splitting flanges and helping installers work faster and more comfortably.
• Speed prongs for temporary connector positioning - hold the hanger in place hands-free during fastening, improving accuracy and reducing installation time on busy job sites.
• Optional triangle joist nail holes for added uplift capacity - by adding four 10dx1-1/2 in. joist nails through these holes, installers can achieve a total uplift load of 975 lbs., though web stiffeners are required when this option is used.
• G90 zinc galvanized, 16-gauge steel construction - provides corrosion resistance suited to treated-lumber environments while delivering the structural integrity demanded by commercial and high-load framing applications.

Why This Product

• Versatile performance for demanding framing scenarios - engineered specifically for commercial, high-load, and double I-joist applications, making it a capable choice when standard hangers fall short of project requirements.
• Flexible uplift options without a separate product - the optional triangle joist nail holes let you increase uplift capacity to 975 lbs. using the same hanger, giving you adaptability across varying structural demands without sourcing additional hardware.
• Installation features that save time on every connection - PAN technology and speed prongs work together to reduce the physical effort and time spent per hanger, translating to meaningful labor savings across large-scale framing projects.
• Domestic production from a trusted structural connector brand - the MIU2.1/11 is made in the United States by Simpson, a brand recognized across the construction industry for consistent quality in engineered connector solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the MIU2.1/11 require web stiffeners during installation?

For standard installations, the MIU2.1/11 is designed to be used without requiring web stiffeners. However, when utilizing the optional triangle joist nail holes for additional uplift, properly attached web stiffeners are required.

What is the maximum uplift load achievable with the MIU2.1/11?

By adding four additional 10dx1-1/2 in. joist nails using the optional triangle joist nail holes, the MIU2.1/11 can achieve a total uplift load of 975 lbs.

What is Positive-Angle Nailing (PAN) and why does it matter?

Positive-Angle Nailing (PAN) is a feature that allows fasteners to be driven at an improved angle relative to the joist flange. This minimizes the risk of splitting the I-joist flanges during nailing and allows installers to work more efficiently, saving time on the job site.

What fastener requirements should I follow when installing the MIU2.1/11?

Always use all specified fasteners as indicated in the installation load table. Before installation, verify that the header can accept the required fasteners specified in the table to ensure a safe and code-compliant connection.
