Product Description
The Simpson MIT311.88-2 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2-1/2 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers, delivering maximum load capacity with a minimum number of fasteners. Featuring a Funnel Flange design for easier member placement and positive-angle nailing (PAN) to minimize splitting, this top-flange hanger is a cost-effective, high-performance solution designed to be installed before the joist is set in place.
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: Double 2-1/2 in. to 2-9/16 in. x 11-7/8 in.
- Made from 16-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of connection is the MIT311.88-2 designed to support?
- The MIT311.88-2 is designed to support standard 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers, making it a reliable and cost-effective alternative to welded hangers for engineered wood applications.
- What fasteners should be used to install the MIT311.88-2?
- 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.
- What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter for I-joists?
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a 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 this method, preserving the structural integrity of the connection.
- Can the MIT311.88-2 be used for increased uplift capacity?
- 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 meet performance requirements.
