Product Overview
Standard masonry joist hanger with a 47mm width and 100mm leg length. Designed for connecting timber joists to masonry or concrete blockwork, providing a secure, load-bearing support where timber meets structural walls.
Manufactured from 2mm thick galvanised steel, the hanger offers excellent rigidity and long-term corrosion protection under normal internal or sheltered external conditions. The precision-formed side flanges ensure consistent fit and alignment, maintaining correct joist positioning during installation.
Suitable for light to medium load applications in domestic floor or roof structures, it offers a robust seat profile to distribute load evenly across the bearing surface.
Its dimensions of 47mm × 100mm ensure compatibility with standard 47mm-wide joists, providing reliable strength for shallow embedment or limited-depth wall construction.
Features & Benefits
- Durable construction: Made from 2mm galvanised steel for strength, stiffness, and long service life.
- Corrosion resistance: Zinc coating provides lasting protection against rust in dry or damp environments.
- Secure load transfer: Deep seat section distributes weight evenly into the supporting masonry.
- Fire performance: Rated A1 Non-Combustible, suitable for use in fire-rated building assemblies.
- Ease of installation: Pre-punched fixing holes simplify positioning and ensure consistent anchoring.
- Application suitability: 47mm internal width accommodates standard structural joists, while the 100mm leg length provides reliable strength for shallow embedment or limited-depth wall construction.
Applications
- Timber floor construction: For securely supporting timber joists built into block or brick walls.
- Roof structures: Used where ceiling or rafter joists connect to masonry walls.
- Timber decking: Suitable for fixing timber deck joists into masonry supports.
- Refurbishment works: Ideal for strengthening or replacing joist connections in existing masonry.
Installation Guidance
- Positioning: Set the hanger in place before laying the joist, ensuring the bearing is fully supported by masonry.
- Fixing to masonry: Use suitable nails or anchor fixings in the pre-punched holes to secure the hanger.
- Joist seating: Insert the joist flush into the hanger seat, ensuring full contact with the bearing plate.
- Alignment check: Confirm level and line before final fixing to maintain uniform joist spacing.
