The Simpson ITS Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood by Simpson raises the bar for engineered wood product (EWP) top-flange hanger design. Built around the innovative Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange, this hanger lets crews complete standard 90 deg. I-joist-to-header connections faster and with fewer nails than traditional EWP top-flange hangers - translating directly to a lower installed cost on every job.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thicknesses from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - firmly locks the I-joist in position without extra hardware, so the connection stays secure from the moment the joist is set.
• No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - reduces fastener count and labor time on every install, cutting overall project costs.
• Funnel Flange design guides I-joists into the seat quickly - speeds up placement during framing so crews spend less time aligning members and more time moving forward.
• Made from 18-gauge steel with G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers the structural rigidity and corrosion resistance needed for demanding framing applications.
• Installs with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails (sold separately) - uses a common fastener size already on most job sites, keeping the installation process straightforward.
• Top-flange design transfers load directly to the header - provides reliable support underneath the joist or rafter for a strong, code-friendly connection.

Why This Product

• Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange work together to allow standard I-joist placement without joist nailing, meaning less time per hanger and lower labor costs across an entire floor or roof system.
• Engineered specifically for EWP I-joists - sized precisely for 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. engineered wood members and compatible with flange thicknesses from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in., eliminating guesswork when specifying hangers for engineered lumber framing.
• Built-in corrosion resistance from the ground up - the G90 zinc galvanized finish is applied during manufacturing, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Domestically produced by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson backs this hanger with engineering resources and load data, giving contractors and builders confidence in the connection's performance from design through inspection.
