Product Overview
MIU3.56/9 Medium Face-Mount I-Joist Hanger
The MIU hanger is designed for commercial, high-load and double I-joist applications without requiring web stiffeners. The MIU features positive-angle nailing (PAN) which minimizes splitting of the flanges while permitting time-saving nailing from a better angle. This face-mount hanger features speed prongs to temporarily position and secure the connector for easier and faster installation.
- Extra optional triangle holes for additional load
- Models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°
- MIU-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant
- 16 gauge
- Galvanized
- Use all specified fasteners. Verify that the header can take the required fasteners specified in the table. Do not overspread hanger. Side flanges should be in contact with top chord of I-Joist. See General Connector Installation for more information.
Uplift Loads
- Models have optional triangle joist nail holes for additional uplift. Properly attached web stiffeners are required.
- MIU — add four additional 0.148" x 1 1/2" joist nails for a total uplift load of 975 lb.
MIU hangers cannot be modified. However, these models will normally accommodate a skew of up to 5°. For sloped joists up to 1/4:12 there is no reduction; between 1/4:12 and up to 1/2:12, tests show a 10% reduction in ultimate hanger strength. Local crushing of the bottom flange or excessive deflection may be limiting; check with joist manufacturer for specific limitations on bearing of this type.
