The Simpson IUS1.81/14 IUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a hybrid framing connector from Simpson Strong-Tie that combines the advantages of face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single solution sized for 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. engineered wood members. Fully compatible with shallow-flange I-joists, this hanger is built to provide reliable support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, making it a practical choice for structural framing applications where a strong, consistent connection is required.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat with self-jigging locator tabs - allows the I-joist to snap securely into position, speeding up installation and reducing the chance of misalignment on the job site
• Easy-to-reach face nails - simplifies fastening at the header so installers can work quickly without awkward positioning
• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - gives this hanger versatility across a wider range of framing conditions compared to single-style hangers, reducing the need for multiple connector types on the same project
• Compatible with shallow-flange I-joists - engineered specifically to work with the proportions of I-joist construction, ensuring a proper fit without field modifications
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed for load-bearing connections while keeping the connector lightweight and easy to handle
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping protect the connector in environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• Faster installation with fewer steps - the Strong-Grip seat lets the I-joist snap into place without requiring joist nails, cutting labor time and lowering the overall installed cost of your framing system
• One hanger, two mounting advantages - the hybrid face-mount and top-mount design from Simpson Strong-Tie means this connector handles more framing scenarios without needing a separate product for each situation
• Built for engineered lumber - precision-sized for 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. I-joists with full compatibility for shallow-flange profiles, so the fit is correct from the start and no field adjustment is needed
