Product Description
The Simpson MIU3.56/16 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie is built for commercial and high-load engineered wood framing where dependable joist support is non-negotiable. Sized to fit a 3-1/2 in. x 16 in. I-joist member, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, code-ready connection without requiring web stiffeners, saving time and reducing material needs on demanding structural applications. Its positive-angle nailing design makes installation faster and more precise, whether you are working on floor systems, roof framing, or other load-bearing assemblies that call for a reliable I-joist connector.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - drives nails at an optimal angle to minimize flange splitting and speed up installation, reducing labor time on the job.
- No web stiffeners required - simplifies the installation process for commercial and high-load I-joist connections, cutting down on extra materials and steps.
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed to handle demanding load requirements in engineered wood framing applications.
- Zinc galvanized G90 finish - adds a corrosion-resistant coating that helps protect the hanger in moisture-prone environments, supporting long-term connection integrity.
- Cannot be modified - ensures the hanger performs exactly as engineered and tested, protecting the structural integrity of the connection as designed.
Why This Product
- Engineered for high-load I-joist work without extra hardware - the MIU series design eliminates the need for web stiffeners, making it a practical choice for commercial framing projects where efficiency matters.
- Faster installation through smarter nailing geometry - positive-angle nailing lets installers work at a better angle with less risk of splitting the I-joist flange, which translates directly to fewer callbacks and cleaner connections.
- Built-in corrosion protection for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized finish gives this hanger durability beyond bare steel, making it suitable for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Consistent, unmodified fit for a 3-1/2 in. x 16 in. member - the fixed configuration ensures every installation meets the same structural standard, removing guesswork from the connection and keeping inspections straightforward.
