The Simpson ITS2.06/16 Top-Flange Joist Hanger from Simpson is an engineered wood hanger built to simplify and speed up I-joist framing on 2 in. x 16 in. members. Designed for top-flange installation, it connects I-joists to headers with fewer nails and less labor than conventional EWP hangers, thanks to the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange features that eliminate the need for joist nails in standard installations without web stiffeners. The result is a faster, lower-cost connection without sacrificing a secure, reliable hold.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - firmly locks I-joists in place during and after installation, reducing movement and keeping framing aligned without additional fastening steps
• No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - cuts labor time and fastener costs on the jobsite, making this one of the faster-installing top-flange hangers available for engineered wood applications
• Top-flange design - allows the hanger to be attached to the header before the joist is set, streamlining workflow and reducing the need for repositioning during framing
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, durable connection capable of supporting the load demands typical of engineered wood I-joist floor systems
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a reliable choice in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Designed for a 2 in. x 16 in. actual joist size - ensures a precise, properly fitted connection with no guesswork, so the hanger works as intended right out of the package

Why This Product

• Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange design eliminate joist nailing for standard installations, reducing the number of steps and the amount of hardware needed to complete each connection
• Built specifically for engineered wood I-joists - the ITS2.06/16 is engineered to handle the unique flange geometry of EWP I-joists, accommodating flange thicknesses from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. for a secure, consistent fit across common I-joist products
• Long-term durability through G90 galvanizing - the zinc galvanized coating provides a higher level of corrosion resistance than standard finishes, helping the hanger maintain structural integrity in demanding framing conditions
• Made by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors - this hanger is part of a broad line of engineered wood connectors designed to meet the performance expectations of professional framers and builders working with top-flange applications
