• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - delivers the structural benefits of both hanger styles in a single connector, making it fully compatible with shallow-flange I-joists
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, load-bearing connection suited to engineered lumber framing without adding unnecessary bulk
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in moisture-prone environments

Why This Product
