The Simpson IUS2.37/11.88 IUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a hybrid connector engineered specifically for 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. engineered wood I-joists. Built by Simpson, this hanger combines the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single solution, with a Strong-Grip seat that allows the I-joist to snap securely into place without the need for joist nails - reducing installed cost and keeping framing projects moving. Easy-to-reach face nails and self-jigging locator tabs make positioning straightforward, even in fast-paced production framing environments.

Key Features

• Strong-Grip seat snaps the I-joist into place without joist nails - eliminates a nailing step at each joist location, lowering labor time and overall installed cost
• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - gives installers the flexibility and strength benefits of both hanger styles in one connector
• Self-jigging locator tabs - align the hanger automatically during placement so you spend less time measuring and more time installing
• Locator tabs can be bent back - allows adjustment for hanger placement or leaves a completely smooth top surface when needed for your application
• Accommodates skews of up to 5 deg. - provides flexibility for installations that are not perfectly square without requiring a specialty hanger
• Made from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited for demanding structural environments
• IUS-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets recognized structural standards
