Product Overview
Standard masonry joist hanger with a 75mm width and 150mm 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 medium load applications in domestic and light commercial floor or roof structures, it offers a robust seat profile to distribute load evenly across the bearing surface.
Its dimensions of 75mm x 150mm ensure compatibility with standard 75mm-wide joists while providing a deep leg length for increased embedment and stability in masonry-to-timber connections.
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: 75mm internal width accommodates wide structural joists, while the 150mm leg length offers increased embedment and enhanced structural anchorage.
Applications
- Timber floor construction: For securely supporting wider timber joists built into block or brick walls.
- Roof structures: Used where larger ceiling or rafter joists connect to masonry walls.
- Timber decking: Suitable for fixing heavier or wider deck joists into masonry supports.
- Refurbishment works: Ideal for strengthening or replacing larger 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.
