Product Description
The Simpson MIU2.56/18 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger by Simpson is built specifically for commercial and high-load engineered wood applications, providing a strong, reliable connection for 2-1/2 in. x 18 in. I-joist members without requiring web stiffeners. Formed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this face-mount hanger supports the joist from underneath to deliver a secure structural connection where load demands are highest.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing design - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while allowing nailing from a more accessible angle, reducing installation time on the job site
- No web stiffeners required - simplifies installation in commercial and high-load I-joist assemblies by eliminating an extra preparation step
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength and rigidity needed to handle demanding load conditions in engineered wood framing
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for long-term performance in moisture-exposed environments
- Fixed, non-modifiable design - manufactured to precise dimensions for the specified member size, ensuring a consistent, code-compliant connection every time
Why This Product
- Built for high-load I-joist applications - the MIU series is engineered specifically for commercial-grade and high-load engineered wood framing scenarios where standard hangers may fall short
- Faster installation without sacrificing strength - positive-angle nailing lets installers drive fasteners from a better position, cutting labor time while maintaining a strong structural connection
- No extra hardware needed - because no web stiffeners are required, contractors can streamline their workflow and reduce material complexity on large engineered wood projects
- Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized finish provides a durable protective layer, supporting the hanger's structural integrity over the life of the installation
