Simpson Strong-Tie MIT311.88 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood

Simpson Strong-Tie MIT311.88 MIT Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood

Top-flange hangers for engineered wood are an integral component for providing maximum down loads that require a minimum amount of fasteners. These metal connectors are created to be installed before the joist is in place. The Simpson Strong-Tie® MIT is designed to support 90° connections of I-joists to headers. This top-flange hanger features a Funnel Flange™ design allowing for easier placement of members. The hanger also features positive-angle nailing (PAN), specifically created for I-joists to minimize splitting.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.

Features

• Positive-angle nailing (PAN) minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle
• With positive-angle nailing, the nail hole material is not removed
• Optional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity; optional uplift nailing requires the addition of properly-secured web stiffeners
• Cost-effective solution for standard 90° connections in comparison to welded hangers
• Features optional fastening with PAT for steel applications/header
• Actual joist size: 2-1/2 in. to 2-9/16 in. x 11-7/8 in.
• Made from 16-gauge steel
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
