The Simpson MIU2.37/9 Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger from Simpson is built for commercial and high-load engineered wood applications where a strong, dependable connection is critical. Designed to fit a 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. I-joist member, this face-mount hanger delivers full support underneath the joist without requiring web stiffeners, simplifying installation and reducing labor on demanding structural projects. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, it is built to perform in tough construction environments where corrosion resistance matters.

Key Features

• Positive-angle nailing - minimizes splitting of the I-joist flanges while allowing nailing from a more accessible angle, so crews work faster with fewer installation errors
• No web stiffeners required - the hanger is engineered to handle commercial and high-load I-joist applications as-is, eliminating an extra installation step and saving time on the job
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural rigidity needed for high-load bearing applications, giving builders confidence in long-term performance
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well-suited for demanding environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Fixed, non-modifiable design - manufactured precisely for a 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. engineered wood member, ensuring the connection meets intended load ratings without field alterations compromising performance

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for high-load I-joist work - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, the MIU series is specifically engineered for commercial and high-load I-joist applications, making it the right fit when structural demands are elevated
• Faster, cleaner installation - positive-angle nailing lets installers drive fasteners from a better working angle, reducing flange splitting risk and cutting time on repetitive framing tasks
• No extra hardware needed at the joist - the design eliminates the need for web stiffeners, meaning fewer components to source, stage, and install on the job site
• Durable corrosion-resistant finish - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this hanger a reliable long-term choice for projects where environmental exposure could degrade uncoated hardware over time

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of joist or beam is the MIU2.37/9 designed to support?

The MIU2.37/9 is designed for commercial and high-load I-joist applications using engineered wood members measuring 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in., and it does not require web stiffeners.

What fasteners should be used to install this hanger?

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the face and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the header. Always use all specified fasteners and verify that the header can accept the required fasteners.

Can the MIU2.37/9 hanger be field-modified to fit a different joist size?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. The MIU2.37/9 is manufactured specifically for a 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. member and must be used as designed.

What is the corrosion resistance rating of this hanger?

This hanger features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for demanding commercial construction environments.
