The Simpson MIU2.37/11 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger is a professional-grade structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, purpose-built for commercial and high-load engineered wood framing. Designed to support 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. I-joist members, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection without requiring web stiffeners, streamlining installation on demanding structural applications. Fabricated from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is built to perform in the conditions that commercial framing projects demand.

Key Features

• Positive-angle nailing design - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while allowing nailing from a more accessible angle, saving time on the job site without sacrificing connection integrity
• No web stiffeners required - simplifies installation in high-load I-joist applications by eliminating the extra labor and materials associated with web stiffener requirements
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength and rigidity needed for commercial framing and heavy-load engineered wood connections
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its performance and structural integrity over time
• Non-modifiable design - ensures the hanger performs exactly as engineered and load-rated, protecting the integrity of the structural connection

Why This Product

• Engineered for commercial-grade performance - the MIU series is specifically designed for high-load I-joist applications, making it a dependable choice for structural framing professionals who need a connector rated for demanding conditions
• Faster, safer nailing in the field - positive-angle nailing reduces the risk of flange splitting and allows crews to drive fasteners from a more natural angle, supporting both job-site efficiency and connection quality
• No extra hardware, no extra steps - because web stiffeners are not required with this hanger, installers can complete connections more efficiently without sourcing or fitting additional components
• Corrosion-resistant finish built for longevity - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this face-mount hanger suitable for structural environments where durability over the life of the building matters
