Eliminate Backer Blocks in I-Joist to I-Joist Connections

The Simpson Strong-Tie HITB I-Joist Hanger revolutionises I-joist installations by removing the need for backer blocks. Engineered with bottom flange location tabs and a versatile open top flange, the HITB offers exceptional load capacity and simplified fixing, making it the preferred choice for efficient and compliant joist-to-joist connections.

Key Features

  • Bottom Flange Tabs
    Integrated tabs ensure quick and precise placement against the I-joist header, improving on-site productivity.

  • Open Top Flange
    Enables flexible positioning and simplified installation to the top chord of supporting joists.

  • Optional Nail Holes
    Additional fastening points allow increased download and uplift capacity where required.

  • Pre-Galvanised Finish
    Manufactured from corrosion-resistant pre-galvanised mild steel for strength and durability.

Benefits

  • Speeds Up Installation:
    Bottom flange location tabs and open top flanges make setup fast and precise.

  • Reduces Material Usage:
    Eliminating backer blocks cuts down on additional components and associated costs.

  • Enhanced Performance:

Installation Guide

  1. Prepare the Header:
    Connect multiple I-joists using MJC connectors or filler blocks as per manufacturer instructions.

  2. Position the Hanger:
    Fit the HITB hanger onto the face of the supporting I-joist. Ensure the bottom flange tabs are tight against the bottom chord.

  3. Fix the Face and Bottom Flanges:
    Fill all face round and obround holes with nails. Install nails into the bottom flange tab holes.

  4. Secure the Top Flanges:
    Flatten the open flanges onto the top chords of the I-joists and drive a minimum of four nails per flange (two front, two rear).

  5. Fix Bottom Chord Tabs:
    Bend the tabs over the top face of the bottom chord and secure with nails through the obround holes.

  6. Install the Carried Joist:
    Place the carried joist into the hanger and fix using nails in the designated round and obround holes.

Note: Web stiffeners are required for use with HITB and HITB-LT models.
