The Simpson ITS Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood from Simpson raises the bar for engineered wood product (EWP) top-flange hanger design. Built specifically to connect I-joists to headers in 90 deg. applications, this hanger combines an innovative Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange to streamline installation, reduce fastener requirements, and deliver a lower overall installed cost compared to traditional EWP top-flange hangers. Formed from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, it is a dependable choice for residential and light commercial framing projects wherever I-joist support is needed.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat accommodates flange thickness from 1 1/8 in. to 1 1/2 in. - firmly holds a wide range of I-joist sizes without the need for additional shimming or adjustment, saving time on the job.
• No joist nailing required for standard I-joist installation without web stiffeners - fewer fasteners means faster installation and reduced labor cost on every hanger placed.
• Funnel Flange design - guides I-joists into position quickly and accurately, cutting down on handling time and the chance of misalignment during framing.
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a strong, rigid connection suited to the load demands of engineered lumber floor and roof systems.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Top-flange design for 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. I-joists - engineered specifically for this member size, ensuring a precise fit that meets structural requirements without field modification.

Why This Product

• Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the Strong-Grip seat and Funnel Flange work together so that standard I-joist installation requires no joist nails, reducing both material costs and time spent on each connection.
