Product Description
The Simpson 2-1/2 x 22 Heavy I-Joist Top-Flange Hanger HIT322 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for standard 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers. Designed for demanding residential and commercial framing applications, this top-flange hanger combines robust 16-gauge steel construction with positive-angle nailing (PAN) technology to deliver reliable, code-compliant performance where large I-joist depths are required.
Key Features
- Top-flange hanger configuration - seats the I-joist securely at the header level, simplifying installation and maintaining consistent joist alignment across the framing assembly
- Positive-angle nailing (PAN) specifically created for I-joists - drives fasteners at an optimized angle suited to I-joist flanges, minimizing splitting of the joist material and preserving structural integrity at the connection point
- Extra triangle holes engineered into the hanger - allow for higher uplift loads, giving the connection added capacity to resist upward forces in demanding load conditions
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides heavy-duty strength appropriate for large-depth I-joist framing applications where load transfer requirements are elevated
- Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - offers a layer of corrosion resistance to help maintain the hanger's long-term performance in typical construction environments
- Sized for 2-1/2 x 22 I-joists - precisely matched to the joist width and depth, eliminating guesswork during hanger selection and helping ensure a proper, code-consistent fit
Why This Product
- Built for deep I-joist framing - the 22-inch height capacity addresses the needs of floor and roof systems that rely on large-depth I-joists, making this hanger a practical choice for projects where standard-depth hangers fall short
- Splitting-resistant nailing geometry - PAN technology is specifically engineered for I-joist flanges, reducing the risk of installation damage and helping preserve the full rated capacity of the connection
- Enhanced uplift resistance through extra triangle holes - provides greater design flexibility for engineers and contractors working in applications where upward force resistance is a critical factor
- Domestically produced by Simpson - manufactured in the United States by a brand recognized for structural connector engineering, supporting consistent quality for framing professionals who depend on repeatable results

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of connection is the HIT322 designed for?
The HIT322 is designed for standard 90-degree connections of I-joists to headers, making it suitable for common residential and commercial framing configurations.
What is positive-angle nailing (PAN) and why does it matter for I-joists?
Positive-angle nailing (PAN) is a nailing geometry incorporated into the HIT322 that drives fasteners at an angle specifically suited to I-joist flanges. This design minimizes splitting of the I-joist material during installation, helping maintain the structural integrity of the connection.
What do the extra triangle holes in the HIT322 provide?
The extra triangle holes in the HIT322 are engineered to allow for higher uplift loads, giving the hanger enhanced capacity to resist upward forces that may occur in certain load conditions.
What finish does the HIT322 have, and what does it protect against?
The HIT322 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, which provides a layer of corrosion resistance to help maintain the hanger's performance and longevity in typical construction environments.
