A joist hanger is a formed sheet-steel connector that carries the end of a joist where it meets a header, rim board, beam or ledger. The back flange nails to the face of the supporting member and the U-shaped seat cradles the joist end, so the two members finish flush at the top rather than relying on toe-nailing or a ledger strip.

This is a Simpson Strong-Tie hanger offered in the common nominal joist depths carried for 2x framing. Hangers are sized to the member they hold, so the seat width matches nominal 2x stock and the height suits the joist depth; the correct size is chosen from the lumber being hung, not from the opening.

Installation is straightforward: hold the hanger tight to the underside of the joist, square to the header, and drive connector nails through every filled hole in the flanges and side tabs. Hangers are specified and fastened per the connector manufacturer's published tables and the project drawings, and the fastener type called out there should be used rather than common framing nails.

Key Features

• Formed sheet-steel connector with a U-shaped seat and a face flange that nails to the supporting header, beam or ledger
• Pre-punched nail holes in the flanges and side tabs locate fasteners in the pattern the connector is designed around
• Holds the joist end flush with the top of the carrying member, keeping subfloor and decking planes level
• Offered in matching sizes for the common nominal 2x joist depths, so one hanger family covers most floor and deck framing
• Installs from the face of the framing with a hammer or positive-placement nailer; no notching, ripping or ledger strip required
• Simpson Strong-Tie wood connectors are stamped with the model designation, which lets an inspector verify the part after framing
• Sold individually, so quantities can be matched to the joist count on a given job

Applications

• Hanging floor joists off rim boards, headers and built-up beams
• Deck framing where joists meet a ledger or beam face
• Framing openings for stairwells, chimneys and skylights, where trimmers and headers meet
• Ceiling joists and rafters landing on a flush header or ridge
• Remodel and repair work where a joist end must be picked up on an existing member
• Garage, shed and accessory-structure framing using nominal 2x joists
