The Simpson Strong-Tie MIU Medium Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger is a durable, high-capacity connector designed for securing engineered wood joists in a variety of framing applications. Made from 14-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this hanger provides reliable corrosion resistance, making it ideal for interior framing and protected exterior environments.

Featuring a full-height design, the MIU hanger offers enhanced lateral and uplift capacity, reducing joist rotation and ensuring long-term structural integrity. The face-mount installation simplifies the attachment process, providing a strong, code-compliant connection between joists and headers. Pre-punched nail holes ensure optimal fastener placement for a secure, high-performance fit.

Key Features

• G90 Galvanized Finish: Provides standard corrosion protection for indoor and covered exterior applications.
• Full-Height Joist Support: Minimizes joist rotation and enhances load capacity for stronger connections.
• Precision-Engineered Construction: 14-gauge steel ensures durability and reliability under heavy loads.
• Face-Mount Design: Allows direct attachment to headers and beams for a secure connection.
• Versatile Compatibility: Works with a variety of engineered wood products, including LVL, LSL, and PSL.

Applications

• Interior Floor Framing: Creates a strong, load-bearing connection between engineered wood joists and headers.
• Roof Framing: Provides superior uplift resistance, reinforcing the stability of engineered wood roof systems.
• Deck Framing (Covered Applications): Ideal for covered outdoor structures where G90 galvanized protection is sufficient.
• General Wood Construction: Used in residential and commercial projects requiring high-capacity engineered wood connections.

Installation Guidelines

• Fastener Requirements: Install using 10d common nails or Simpson Strong-Tie SD screws to achieve full load capacity.
• Face-Mount Installation: Secure the hanger to the header with all available nail holes filled for maximum strength.
• Ensure Proper Joist Fit: The I-joist must sit fully into the hanger seat to ensure proper load transfer.
• Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Maintain correct spacing and alignment per framing best practices and building codes.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
