Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie® LT series of top-flange hangers is designed to offer superior performance for supporting I-joists. The hanger's top-flange design simplifies placement for quick and easy installation. The stirrup laterally supports the I-joist top flange, eliminating the need for web stiffeners.

Options

- See General Instructions for the Installer for additional information.
- LT's optional triangle nail holes may be used for increased uplift capacity. See Optional Nailing for Increased Uplift table.
- 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.
