Top-Flange Joist Hangers
Simpson Strong-Tie offers several top-flange hanger options for attaching joists to the Strong Frame® ordinary moment frame.
ITS
ITS: The innovative ITS sets a new standard for engineered-wood top-flange hangers. The ITS installs faster and uses fewer nails than any other EWP top-flange hanger. The new Strong-Grip™ seat allows standard joist installation without joist nails resulting in the lowest installed cost.
HIT Installation on a Strong Frame® beam with pre-installed nailers
MIT/HIT: These joist hangers feature positive-angle nailing which allows the nail to be driven at approximately 45° into the joist flange. This minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle.
BA installed on a Strong Frame beam with pre-installed nailers using minimum nailing
BA
Patent Pending
