MJC Multiple Joist Connector 

THE MULTI JOIST CONNECTOR (MJC) ALLOWS TWO JOISTS TO BE 

FIXED TOGETHER TO ACT AS A SINGLE UNIT, TRANSFERRING THE 

INCOMING LOAD FROM THE LOADED PLY TO THE UNLOADED PLY. 

The MJC is an improved solution to the traditional filler block detail, which historically 

has been time consuming to fit and difficult to check if fitted or if fitted correctly. 

MJC 

It’s simple and effective design allows one size of product to be used on any joist size – 

regardless of height or width. 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Quick and simple to install. 

Safely joins multiple I-Joists together, allowing them to act as a single unit. 

Easy to see that MJC’s are installed (whereas filler blocks are invisible). 

One size product fits all joist height and width combinations. 

Just one nail size required: 3.75mm x 30mm square twist. 


MJC INSTALLATION SEQUENCE 

Stage 1: 

Position the MJC’s onto the 1st joist - ensuring that they 

are centred about the incoming load at 400 c/c (may be 

adjusted within 10mm each way). 

Please note that the connectors can be installed in any 

orientation. Secure each MJC with 4no. 3.75 x 30mm 

Square Twist Nails, to the top and bottom joist flanges as 

shown. 

Stage 2: 


Position 2nd joist ensuring ends are flush and joists are 

parallel. 

Secure the joist using 2no. 3.75 x 30mm Square Twist 

Nails per MJC into the top and bottom joist flanges as 

shown. 

NB - Loads can be found in Simpson Strong-Tie Technical 

Bulletin T-UK-MJC or visit www.strongtie.co.uk/bulletins.

ITBS Skewable I-Joist Hanger 

THE REVOLUTIONARY ITBS REDUCES BUILD COST, CONFUSION, SPEED 

OF INSTALLATION AND STOCK HOLDING. 

The ITBS solves the problem of skew hangers in timber to timber connections. It can be 

handed left or right on site by the carpenter, removing confusion when the floor is built 

opposite to the drawing. The ITBS is also fully adjustable from 22.5 to 67.5 deg skew, 

reducing the need for ‘special’ skew hangers. Finally, the ITBS is a Backer Free hanger 

removing the need for Backer Blocks in standard installation. Overall, the revolutionary 

ITBS reduces build cost, confusion, speed of installation and stock holding.

ITT/MIT I-Joist & Structural Composite Timber Top Flange Hanger 

ITT AND MIT HANGERS ARE A ONE-PIECE, NON-WELDED JOIST HANGER 

FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER FROM 

TIMBER MEMBERS. 

ITT 

• 

Value-engineered for maximum performance. The offset seat feature allows better joist 

bearing positioning. Joist top flanges are laterally restrained by the side of the hanger, 

eliminating the need for web stiffeners. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners. 

35 


• 

• 

• 

• 

Bend Tab Nailing: Nail the ITT’s special bend-tab with 3.75mmx30mm nails vertically into 

the bottom flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also be 

nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constricts the I-joist, helping to reduce squeaks 

resulting from joist movement. 

Reduced embossing on the ITT’s top flange, and the hanger height sized less than the joist 

height allow easier fitting for smooth floor alignment. 

Patented Positive Angle Nailing: This feature is specifically designed for wood web I-joists 

when used with the MIT. 

With Positive Angle Nailing (PAN), the slotted hole material is not removed, but issued to 

channel and confine the path of the nail to the optimum angle. PAN minimises splitting of 

the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle.

LBV/BI I-Joist & Structural Composite Timber Top Flange Hanger 

LBV AND BI HANGERS ARE A ONE-PIECE, NON-WELDED JOIST 

HANGER FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE 

TIMBER FROM TIMBER MEMBERS. 

LBV 

• 

• 

This design configuration has the material section where it counts, resulting in 

maximum load values. 

The LBV is designed especially for use with multiple ply headers of 38mm or 

45mm thick. 


MATERIAL: 

LBV: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel; 

BI: 2.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 

INSTALLATION: 

• Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take 

the required fasteners specified in the table. 

• Web stiffeners are required for use with the BI hanger style and sloped or 

skewed LBV hangers. 

• 

The LBV and BI hangers may be used for weld on applications. The minimum 

required weld for the top flanges is a 3.0 x 50mm fillet weld on each side of the 

top flange tabs. Weld-on applications produce maximum allowable loads listed. 

Uplift loads do not apply for this application. Special considerations should be 

taken when welding galvanised steel. 

OPTIONS: 

• 

• 

• 

Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact factory for 

details. 

LBV and BI series hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. See 

table for load adjustment factors. 

To order specials, put an X after the model number and add required directions

WPU/GLTV For I-Joist & Structural Composite Timber 

THESE ARE A WELDED JOIST HANGER FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS 

AND STRUCTURAL COMPOSITE TIMBER FROM TIMBER MEMBERS. 

GLTV 

• 

These hangers offer the greatest design flexibility and versatility. 

225 

• 

GLTV hangers are designed for use with structural composite lumber 

(PSL, LSL or LVL) headers and may take heavy loads. The top flange nails 

are sized and specifically located to prevent degradation of the header due to 

splitting of laminations. 

75 


MATERIAL: 

WPU—5mm top flange, 2.5mm stirrup - mild steel. 

GLTV—5mm top flange and stirrup - mild steel. 

FINISH: WPU—Hot-dip galvanised; GLTV—Hot-dip galvanised. 

SAFE WORKING LOADS: For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the SWL 

is 0.5 of the table load. If header is multiple plies of 45mm PSL, the GLTV SWL is the 

lesser of the table load or 26.68kN. 

INSTALLATION: 

75 

225 

130 

WPU 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the header can take 

the required fasteners specified in the table. 

All multiple members must be secured together to work as a single unit before 

installation into the hanger. 

Web stiffeners are required for I-joists with all of these hanger styles. 

These hangers may be used for weld on applications. The minimum required 

welds for the top flanges are 5mm x 38mm for WPU and 6mm x 63mm for GLTV, 

fillet welds located at each end of the top flange. Weld-on applications produce 

maximum allowable loads listed. Uplift loads do not apply for this application. 

65 

65 

OPTIONS: 

• Other widths and heights are available as a special order, contact Simpson 

Strong-Tie for details. 

• Straddle available-specify S dimension. 

• These hangers can be skewed and sloped to a maximum of 45°. Check with the 

• factory for WPU with a width of greater than 89mm for skewed availability. 

• For skews greater than 15°, multiply the table uplift load by 0.50. 

• For sloped and skewed GLTV configurations the SWL is the lesser of the table 

load or 24.46kN. 

• For sloped only, the SWL is the lesser of the load listed or 28.91kN for the GLTV. 

• For skewed only, the SWL is the lesser of the load listed or 29.13kN for the GLTV. 

• To order specials, contact Simpson Strong-Tie.

IUT/MIU/HIU Face Mount I-Joist Hangers 

IUT, MIU AND HIU HANGERS ARE A ONE PIECE, NON-WELDED, FACE 

MOUNTED HANGER FOR SUPPORTING I-JOISTS FROM TIMBER 

MEMBERS. 

IUT 

U.S. Patent 5,555,694 


• The MIU and HIU hangers feature Positive Angle Nailing (PAN), which minimises 

splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. 

With PAN nailing, the slotted hole material is not removed, but is used to channel 

and confine the path of the nail to the optimum angle. 

• Joist top flanges are laterally restrained by the side of the hanger, eliminating the 

need for web stiffeners. I-joist manufacturers may require web stiffeners. 

• Nail the IUT’s special bend-tab with 3.75 x 30mm nails vertically into the bottom 

flange of the I-joist when web stiffeners are not used. The bend tab can also 

be nailed directly into the web stiffener. This constrains the I-joist, helping to 

reduce squeaks resulting from joist movement. 

MATERIAL: IUT: 1.2mm; MIU: 1.5mm; HIU: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 

ENHANCED UPLIFT LOADS: The IUT, MIU and HIU have optional triangular 

nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners may be required for 

Enhanced uplift. Please contact Simpson Strong-Tie for details. 

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Verify that the 

header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. 

• IUT—optional seat diamond hole allows pre-attachment of hanger to joist before 

installation. 

• Web stiffeners are not required with I-joists when the joist top flange is laterally 

supported by the sides of the hanger, I-joist manufacturers may require web 

stiffeners. 

• IUT’s bend-tab may be nailed unbent into plywood web stiffeners.

THE MH IS A ONE PIECE GALVANISED HANGER AVAILABLE IN A RANGE OF WIDTHS FOR LIGHT DUTY 

APPLICATIONS SUCH AS TRIMMERS AND CEILING JOISTS OF RECTANGULAR SECTION. 

• 

• 

• 

Suitable for use with solid and I-joist headers. 

Tab on seat ensures easy and accurate placement with easy bend feature when not required. 

Fully tested on a range of solid headers. 

MATERIAL: 1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 


INSTALLATION: For solid headers fill all round and triangular holes with nails. The hanger depth should be at least 60% of the carried 

member depth to prevent rotation, if less than 60% additional lateral restraint is required to the top of the carried member.

HU & U Face Mount Hangers 

HEAVY-DUTY HANGERS DESIGNED FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. 

• Composite HU hangers have round and triangle holes in the face and joist. 

• The hanger depth is to be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotation, unless additional lateral restraint is added to 

the top of the carried member. 

MATERIAL: U: 1.5mm pre-galvanised mild steel. HU: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 

INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. 

Composite HU hangers can be installed according to two different nailing schedules. To achieve maximum published loads all round and 

triangular holes must be filled with the specified fasteners. 

OPTIONS: Slope and skew options available for all HU hangers. Skews right or left up to 67.5° and slopes up or down up to 45°. 

Hangers with skews greater than 15° may have all joist nailing on the outside angle. For HU hangers with combined skews and slopes the 

maximum SWL is 80% of the medium term loads stated within the table. Concealed flanges available on some models. Specify HUC. 

Minimum Width = 70mm for composite HU hangers.

THAI Adjustable Strap Hanger 

THAI ARE A ONE PIECE, NON-WELDED, JOIST HANGER FOR 

SUPPORTING COMPOSITE TIMBERS FROM TIMBER MEMBERS. 

The model number and size is stamped onto the seat of most sizes for easy 

identification of the hanger, even after installation. 

THAI 

• 

Designed for I-joists, has extra long straps and can be field-formed to give height 

adjustability and top flange hanger convenience. Positive angle nailing helps 

eliminate splitting of the I-joist’s bottom flange. 

• Extra nail holes are provided for access in some conditions. Not all strap nail holes 

need to be filled. See table for nailing requirements. 

• THAI-2 must be factory ordered for hanger width needed. See table for allowable 

widths. 

MATERIAL: 

THAI: 1.2mm; THAI-2: 2.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 

INSTALLATION: 

HSIMPSON 

Strong Tie ® 


Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 

Two different installation methods are available depending on the availability of nailing 

surface. 

Maximum Nailing: 

For applications where all the nails listed in the table can be properly installed. Install 

the quantity of face nails shown into the straps for full table load and two 3.75 x 30mm 

nails driven downward at a 45° angle into the I-joist’s bottom flange. The THAI has additional 

nail holes - not all holes are required to be filled to achieve listed loads. 

Minimum Nailing: 

For applications where the strap is wrapped over the top of the support. Install nails 

into each strap at the face surface of the hanger and 3.75 x 30mm nails driven 

downward at a 45° angle into the I-joist bottom flange. Then two nails into each strap at 

the top of the support after forming tight bend. Bend top flange a minimum of 65mm.

LSSU/LSU Light Slope & Skew Adjustable Hangers 

WITH THESE SITE ADJUSTABLE HANGERS, YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT 

HANGER AVAILABLE FOR THOSE SPECIAL RUSH PROJECTS. 

This versatile range of products attaches joists/rafters to timber supports at any slope, up or down or at any skew, left of right up to and 

including 45 o . All models are slope and skew adjustable on site, excluding the LSU35010-2 and LSU4.12. 

MATERIAL: LSSU410: 1.5mm, all others 1.2mm pre-galvanised mild steel. 


INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Bend only once. To ensure proper seat installation, install the 

bottom nails before the side nails. Attach the sloped joist at both ends so the horizontal force developed by the slope is fully supported by 

the carried members. Web stiffeners are required with I-joists using this hanger style. For field skewing, see install sequence below.
