Product Description
The Simpson MIT3518 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-5/16 in. x 18 in. Engineered Wood by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to support precise 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers. Top-flange hangers for engineered wood are an integral component for providing maximum down loads that require a minimum amount of fasteners. These metal connectors are created to be installed before the joist is in place. The MIT3518 features a Funnel Flange design allowing for easier placement of members and positive-angle nailing (PAN) specifically created for I-joists to minimize splitting - making it a cost-effective alternative to welded hangers for standard structural connections.
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: 2-5/16 in. x 18 in.
- Made from 16-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of joist connections is the Simpson MIT3518 designed to support?
- The Simpson MIT3518 is designed to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for standard engineered wood framing applications.
- What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter for I-joists?
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a design feature specifically created for I-joists that minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. Importantly, the nail hole material is not removed with PAN, preserving the integrity of the connection.
- What nails are required to install the MIT3518?
- 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.
- Does the MIT3518 offer any additional uplift capacity options?
- Yes. Optional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity; however, optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners to achieve that enhanced performance.
