The Simpson ITS2.37/9.5 Top-Flange I-Joist Hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie sets a new standard for engineered wood top-flange hangers, combining an innovative Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange design to make I-joist connections faster, simpler, and more cost-effective. Sized for 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. engineered wood I-joists and built from 18-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, this hanger is engineered for reliable, long-lasting performance in floor and roof framing applications where strength and installation efficiency matter most.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates I-joist flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - fits a wide range of standard engineered wood I-joists securely without additional adjustment or shimming.
• No joist nailing required for standard installation without web stiffeners - reduces fastener count and labor time, lowering overall installed cost compared to conventional EWP top-flange hangers.
• Funnel Flange design guides the I-joist into position during placement - speeds up installation and minimizes alignment errors on the job site.
• 18-gauge steel construction - delivers a strong, rigid connection capable of supporting the demands of engineered wood framing systems in floors and roofs.
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance to help maintain connection integrity in demanding environments over the long term.
• Installs with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails - uses fewer fasteners than comparable hangers, keeping material costs and installation time to a minimum.

Why This Product

• Faster installation with fewer nails - the combination of the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange allows standard I-joist installation without joist nails, meaning crews spend less time per hanger and more time moving the project forward.
• Purpose-built for engineered wood I-joists - designed specifically for 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. EWP members, this top-flange hanger eliminates the guesswork of adapting a general-purpose connector to a specialized framing component.
