Product Description
The Simpson MIT1.81/14 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood by Simpson Strong-Tie is an engineered metal connector designed to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers. Built for maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners, this top-flange hanger features a Funnel Flange design for easier member placement and positive-angle nailing (PAN) to minimize splitting in I-joist flanges - making it a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to welded hangers.
Key Features
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle
- With positive-angle nailing, the nail hole material is not removed
- Optional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity; optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners
- Cost-effective solution for standard 90 deg. connections in comparison to welded hangers
- Features optional fastening with PAT for steel applications/header
- Actual joist size: 1-3/4 in. x 14 in.
- Made from 16-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
- Funnel Flange design allows for easier placement of members
- Installed before the joist is in place for a streamlined workflow

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of joist is the Simpson MIT1.81/14 designed to support?
- The MIT1.81/14 is specifically designed to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers, making it well-suited for engineered wood applications that require dependable down-load capacity with a minimum number of fasteners.
- What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter?
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a feature specifically created for I-joists that minimizes splitting of the flanges while allowing nailing from a better angle to save time. Importantly, with PAN the nail hole material is not removed, preserving the integrity of the connection.
- What fasteners are required to install the MIT1.81/14?
- Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. For steel header applications, optional fastening with PAT is also available.
- Can the MIT1.81/14 be used in applications requiring increased uplift capacity?
- Yes. The hanger features optional triangle nail holes that may be used for increased uplift capacity. However, optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners to ensure a code-compliant and structurally sound installation.
