The Simpson ITS2.06/9.5 Top-Flange I-Joist Hanger from Simpson represents an innovative approach to engineered wood framing connections. Designed specifically for 2 in. x 9-1/2 in. I-joists, this hanger delivers a faster, lower-cost installation experience through its Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange design - two features that work together to secure I-joists firmly in place without requiring joist nails during standard installation. Built from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, it is a reliable choice for structural framing applications where speed, precision, and corrosion resistance all matter.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - fits a wide range of standard engineered wood I-joists without modification, reducing compatibility concerns on the job site
• No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - cuts fastener count and labor time, keeping your crew moving through the framing process faster
• Funnel Flange design guides the joist into position quickly - speeds up placement during installation so fewer adjustments are needed, lowering overall installed cost
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength engineered wood top-flange hanger applications demand without adding unnecessary bulk
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable option in framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• Faster installation, fewer fasteners - the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange work together to eliminate joist nailing on standard installations, meaning less hardware to manage and quicker progress on engineered wood framing projects
• Broad I-joist compatibility - the seat's ability to secure flanges ranging from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. thick means this hanger works across a variety of common I-joist products without requiring a separate hanger for each application
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic protection, making this top-flange hanger a sound long-term choice for framing where durability under real-world conditions matters
• Engineered specifically for EWP top-flange applications - rather than a general-purpose hanger adapted for engineered wood, the ITS2.06/9.5 was purpose-designed for this use case, translating directly into a lower installed cost compared to conventional EWP top-flange hanger options
