The Simpson ITS Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood from Simpson sets a new standard for engineered wood top-flange hangers, delivering a faster installation process and fewer nails than comparable EWP top-flange options. Built around the innovative Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange design, this hanger allows standard I-joist installation without requiring joist nails or web stiffeners, making it a cost-efficient and time-saving choice for contractors and builders working with engineered lumber connections.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thicknesses from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - firmly secures a wide range of I-joist sizes without extra hardware or adjustments, reducing material selection headaches on the job site.
• No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - cuts installation steps and labor time, lowering your overall installed cost per hanger.
• Funnel Flange design guides the joist into position quickly - speeds up placement during installation so crews can move through framing faster with less repositioning effort.
• Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a sturdy, reliable connection capable of handling the structural demands of engineered wood joist applications.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments over the long term.
• Installs with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails - uses a standard, readily available fastener so there is no need to source specialty hardware before getting to work.

Why This Product

• Fewer nails, faster installation - the ITS hanger is specifically engineered to install faster and use fewer nails than other EWP top-flange hangers, directly reducing both labor time and fastener costs on every connection.
• Eliminates joist nailing in standard applications - because the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange secure the I-joist without nails through the joist itself, crews skip a time-consuming step that other top-flange hangers typically require.
• Broad flange compatibility in a single hanger - the Strong-Grip seat handles I-joist flange thicknesses from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in., so this one hanger works across a range of engineered wood products without needing alternate models.
• G90 galvanized protection built in - the zinc galvanized coating means the hanger resists corrosion from the start, making it a dependable long-term choice for framing in areas where moisture exposure is a concern.
