Product Description
The Simpson MIU5.12/9 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger 5x9-1/2 from Simpson is a heavy-duty face-mount connector engineered for commercial, high-load, and double I-joist applications. Built to support 5 in. x 9-1/2 in. I-joist members, this hanger is purpose-built for demanding structural connections where reliable load transfer and efficient installation are critical.
Key Features
- Designed for commercial, high-load, and double I-joist applications without requiring web stiffeners in standard use - eliminates an extra installation step on most jobs, saving time and reducing material costs on the job site.
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) design - minimizes splitting of I-joist flanges during fastening and allows nailing from a more ergonomic angle, reducing installation fatigue and speeding up the overall process.
- Integrated speed prongs - temporarily position and secure the hanger in place before fastening, keeping the connector properly aligned hands-free for faster, more accurate installation.
- Optional triangle joist nail holes - provide a path to increased uplift capacity when properly attached web stiffeners are used, giving installers flexibility to meet higher-load requirements on the same hanger.
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance suited to a broad range of construction environments, helping the connector maintain structural integrity over time.
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the strength and rigidity expected for heavy commercial framing applications without adding unnecessary bulk to the connection point.
Why This Product
- Versatile uplift performance - the MIU5.12/9 supports enhanced uplift loads by adding four additional 10dx1-1/2 in. joist nails beyond standard fasteners, making it adaptable to a wider range of structural demands without swapping to a different hanger.
- Faster framing from start to finish - the combination of speed prongs for hands-free positioning and positive-angle nailing for easier fastener driving means less time spent on each connection, adding up to meaningful time savings across a full framing project.
- Simplified installation without sacrificing capacity - web stiffeners are not required in standard use, so crews can maintain a fast workflow while still meeting the load requirements of commercial and high-load I-joist assemblies.
- Made in the United States by Simpson - this face-mount I-joist hanger is backed by the engineering standards and quality controls that structural contractors and specifiers rely on for critical load-path connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are web stiffeners required when using the MIU5.12/9?
- The MIU hanger is designed for commercial, high-load, and double I-joist applications without requiring web stiffeners in standard installations. However, properly attached web stiffeners are required when using the optional triangle joist nail holes for additional uplift.
- What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter?
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a design feature of the MIU hanger that minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges during installation. It also allows nailing from a more ergonomic angle, saving time and reducing installation fatigue on the job site.
- How can I achieve a total uplift load of 975 lbs. with this hanger?
- To reach a total uplift load of 975 lbs., add four additional 10dx1-1/2 in. joist nails to the MIU hanger beyond the standard specified fasteners. Always use all specified fasteners and verify that the header can accept the required fasteners listed in the load table.
- What coating does the MIU5.12/9 have, and what does it protect against?
- The MIU5.12/9 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments.
