The Simpson MIT414 Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 3-1/2 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood from Simpson is engineered to support 90 deg. connections of I-joists to headers, delivering maximum down load capacity while requiring a minimum number of fasteners. Designed to be installed before the joist is placed, this top-flange hanger features a Funnel Flange design that allows for easier placement of members, making it a reliable and cost-effective choice for engineered wood framing applications including I-joist installations.

Key Features

• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) - minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle, keeping your framing work moving efficiently without sacrificing structural integrity
• Nail hole material is not removed with PAN - preserves the full strength of the connection point, maintaining the hanger's load-bearing performance at every fastened joint
• Optional triangle nail holes for increased uplift capacity - gives you flexibility to meet higher uplift demands when paired with properly-secured web stiffeners, adapting to more demanding structural requirements
• Optional fastening with PAT for steel applications/header - expands compatibility to steel header applications, reducing the need for alternate connectors in mixed-material framing situations
• Funnel Flange design - simplifies member placement before the joist is set, reducing installation time and the risk of misalignment during framing
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the strength and rigidity needed for engineered wood framing systems that carry heavy down loads
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in conditions where moisture exposure is a concern
• Cost-effective alternative to welded hangers - achieves standard 90 deg. I-joist connections at a lower cost without compromising performance, making it a practical choice for production framing and custom builds alike

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for I-joists - the PAN feature and Funnel Flange design are purpose-built for engineered wood members, reducing the risk of flange splitting and simplifying placement in ways that generic hangers do not address
• Maximum load with fewer fasteners - the MIT414 is designed to achieve maximum down load capacity while using a minimum number of fasteners, helping you work faster and reduce material costs on larger framing projects
• Flexible uplift options built in - optional triangle nail holes allow the same hanger to be configured for increased uplift capacity when project conditions require it, eliminating the need to source a separate connector for higher-demand connections
• G90 galvanized protection on a U.S.-made connector - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for framing environments where long-term durability matters
