Product Description
The Simpson MIU2.56/20 Galvanized Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger is built for commercial and high-load I-joist connections where performance and reliability cannot be compromised. Engineered by Simpson to support 2-1/2 in. x 20 in. engineered wood members, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, load-bearing connection underneath the joist without requiring web stiffeners - streamlining installation on demanding structural projects. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, the MIU2.56/20 is a purpose-built solution for contractors and builders working with large-format engineered lumber in commercial framing applications.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges during fastening while allowing nailing from a more efficient angle, saving time on the job without sacrificing connection integrity
- No web stiffeners required - simplifies the installation process for commercial and high-load I-joist applications, reducing material and labor overhead on the jobsite
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to handle the demands of commercial-grade and high-load engineered wood framing connections
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Cannot be modified - ensures the hanger is always installed as engineered, protecting the integrity of the rated structural connection and keeping installations code-consistent
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for high-load I-joist work - the MIU series is specifically designed for commercial and high-load I-joist applications, making this hanger a dependable fit where standard hangers may fall short
- Faster installation without added steps - positive-angle nailing and the elimination of web stiffener requirements combine to speed up the fastening process, keeping commercial framing projects on schedule
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides an added layer of protection beyond basic galvanizing, supporting the durability of the connection over the life of the structure
- Consistent, unmodified structural performance - because this hanger is installed exactly as designed with no field modifications, builders get predictable, rated load performance every time it is used in an engineered wood connection
