The Simpson IUS2.37/16 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger by Simpson is a hybrid hanger engineered to combine the advantages of face-mount and top-mount hanger designs, making it fully compatible with shallow-flange I-joists and engineered wood framing. Built to provide reliable support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this hanger delivers a strong structural connection for 2-5/16 in. x 16 in. engineered wood members. With self-jigging locator tabs, a Strong-Grip seat, and easy-to-reach face nails, it is designed to streamline installation on the job site without sacrificing holding strength.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat with snap-in I-joist positioning - the I-joist snaps securely into place during installation, reducing handling time and keeping members properly aligned before nailing
• Self-jigging locator tabs and easy-to-reach face nails - position the hanger accurately against the header with minimal adjustment, speeding up repetitive framing tasks
• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - gives installers the flexibility of a face-mount connection while retaining top-mount hanger advantages, making it a versatile choice for engineered wood framing
• Full compatibility with shallow-flange I-joists - purpose-built geometry accommodates the narrower flanges common on I-joist products, ensuring a proper fit without field modification
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a solid, durable hanger body capable of handling the loads typical of floor and roof framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - the heavier zinc coating offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, supporting long-term performance in moisture-prone environments

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for I-joist framing - unlike generic hangers, this model is designed from the ground up for shallow-flange I-joists and 2-5/16 in. x 16 in. engineered wood, meaning no guesswork about fit or compatibility on the job site
• Faster installation with fewer steps - the Strong-Grip seat, self-jigging tabs, and snap-in joist positioning work together to cut down installation time, a real advantage when hanging multiple joists across a large floor or roof system
• Built-in corrosion protection for demanding environments - the G90 galvanized coating delivers a higher level of zinc coverage, making this hanger a dependable choice where moisture or humidity could compromise an uncoated or lightly coated connector over time
• American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - produced domestically by Simpson, a name widely recognized among framing and structural applications, this hanger reflects consistent manufacturing standards that contractors and inspectors are familiar with
