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.
