Simpson Strong-Tie Width Adjustable Face Fix Joist Hanger

Flexible Two-Piece Hanger for Adjustable Timber Joist Connections

The Simpson Strong-Tie SDE is a width adjustable, two-piece face fix joist hanger designed to accommodate a wide range of joist widths—from 60mm to 250mm. Engineered for both new construction and refurbishment applications, this hanger system offers maximum flexibility when connecting solid wood or engineered timber to timber, concrete, or steel supports.

Key Features

• Adjustable Width Design
  Composed of two interlocking components, the SDE can be quickly configured on-site to suit joists of varying widths within a 60mm–250mm range.

• Supplied as a Pair
  Each set includes both halves required for a complete hanger assembly, eliminating the need for separate left/right parts.

• Optional Bolt Fixing
  Includes 13mm diameter bolt holes for applications requiring bolted connections into concrete or steel supports.

• High-Grade Galvanised Steel
  Constructed from S250GD + Z275 galvanised steel in accordance with NF EN 10346, offering durability and corrosion resistance for protected structural environments.

• Versatile Mounting
  Suitable for timber-to-timber, timber-to-steel, or timber-to-concrete installations, increasing its utility across mixed material builds.

Benefits

• Ideal for Refurbishment Projects
  Easily adapts to existing joist sizes in retrofit or repair scenarios, reducing the need for custom hangers.

• Saves Stock and Time
  One product covers multiple joist sizes, reducing the number of hanger types needed on site.

• Multi-Material Compatibility
  Can be fixed to wood, concrete, or steel—perfect for hybrid structures or joist replacements in masonry buildings.

• Efficient On-Site Adjustment
  The modular two-piece design allows real-time width adjustment, enabling quick alignment and fitting without cutting or fabricating.

Applications

• Timber joist connections in new builds

• Refurbishment of existing floors or ceilings

• Joist-to-timber, joist-to-concrete, or joist-to-steel connections

• Engineered wood or composite lumber installations

Installation Notes

• Ensure both components are securely aligned and fixed according to manufacturer guidance.

• Use suitable fixings based on the supporting material—nails/screws for timber, bolts for steel/concrete.

• Avoid over-tightening to preserve adjustability before final positioning.

Important Notes

• For outdoor or highly corrosive environments, consider additional corrosion protection beyond Z275 galvanisation.

• Load capacities will vary depending on joist width, fixing type, and substrate—refer to Simpson Strong-Tie technical data for performance tables.
