Product Overview
A standard-leg timber-to-timber Jiffy joist hanger suited to larger-section joists up to 100mm wide for structural floor or beam support.
Manufactured from corrosion-protected steel for dependable strength and clean bearing at the seat. The rigid side flanges and optimised nail pattern allow even load distribution into the supporting beam without risk of timber splitting.
Its compact form makes it suitable for flush, accurate installation where service runs or finishes need a neat line. Supplied for joists up to 100mm wide, with a 245mm leg length providing the standard nailing reach used in typical timber-to-timber applications.
Features & Benefits
- Face-fix configuration: Allows direct fixing to the supporting timber member for a precise set-out and fast installation.
- Defined seat support: Rigid seat gives positive bearing to the supported joist for predictable load transfer and reduced creep.
- Standard leg format: Leg length suited to typical timber-to-timber drops without requiring extended nailing lines or additional trimming.
- Optimised fastener layout: Staggered holes help distribute load and reduce the risk of timber splitting when correctly nailed or screwed.
- Material and finish: Supplied in corrosion-protected steel suitable for internal structural timber use; select finish to suit the service class.
- Application suitability: 100mm width suits 97-100 mm joists; 245mm leg length provides conventional nailing reach for timber-to-timber work.
Applications
- Floor joists to beams: Supporting 97-100mm softwood joists from timber beams in internal floors.
- Ceiling joists to binders: Hanging 100mm ceiling members from timber binders where a standard leg is adequate.
- Trimmers and headers: Forming trimmer/header connections around openings with 100mm joists.
- Studwork and noggins: Creating 100mm secondary members where face-fix hangers give a cleaner junction.
Installation Guidance
- Set out and mark: Offer the hanger to the line, mark top and sides, and ensure the seat is level to the design datum.
- Fix supporting member first: Install all specified fasteners in the supporting member leg before seating the joist.
- Seat and secure joist: Fully bear the joist on the seat and fix through the side flanges per the specified nailing/screwing schedule.
- Maintain edge distances: Keep fasteners within the hole pattern and observe minimum end and edge distances for timber.
- Final checks: Confirm full bearing, no gaps at the seat, and that all holes required by the schedule are filled.
Compliance & Performance
- Intended use: Structural timber-to-timber connections in dry, internal environments unless otherwise specified.
- Corrosion protection: Select coating or material grade appropriate to the service class and environment as defined by the designer.
- Design responsibility: Designer to verify loads, timber grade, and fixings to suit the project’s requirements.
- Important note: Do not modify the hanger; use only specified fasteners.
