MiTek 2-1/2" x 14" Joist Hanger, 18 Gauge, G90 Galvanized (25 Pieces) #UTHFI2514

Mitek THFI face mount hangers are designed to attach EWP I-joist members to wood headers. The unique design of the THFI combines the installation ease of a top mount hanger with the installation flexibility of a face mount hanger. Because the side flanges extend to the top chord of the I-joist, web stiffeners are not required. The THFI hangers also feature strategically placed Seat Cleats which lock the bottom flange of the I-joist to the hanger, eliminating the need for joist nails to be installed. The innovative top flange alignment tabs with the holding cleats assist the placing and alignment of the hanger prior to nailing by hanging onto the header with holding cleats biting into the wood. If the alignment tabs are not desired or a deeper height member is to be carried, the tabs can be easily bent out of the way. Alignment tabs do not contribute to the allowable design values of the THFI hangers. Mitek connectors are designed for code compliance, easy installation with commonly-available fasteners, and high performance.
