FOR 2 x10 lumber joists and I Joists Top Flange I-joist hangers meeting the unique needs of I-joists while offering superior performance and ease of installation. Nail the ITT’s special bend-tab with 10dx1 1/2" nails at a slight angle 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. 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. * Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified . * ITT’s face flange triangle hole (optional) secures hanger against header; optional diamond hole in seat allows further attachment of hanger to I-joist. * ITT’s bend-tab may be nailed unbent into plywood web stiffeners. * Because these hangers are fully die-formed, they cannot be modified. However these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°. * Product tests show a 10% reduction in ultimate hanger strength when the joist is sloped to 1/2:12 when used with these hangers. Local crushing of the bottom flange or excessive deflection may be limiting; check with joist manufacturer for specific limitations on bearing of this type.
