High-Strength Face Fix Joist Hanger for Timber and Masonry Connections

The Simpson Strong-Tie SAE500/78/2 is a heavy-duty face fix hanger designed to support timber joists in high-load structural applications. Made from pre-galvanised mild steel and incorporating bolt holes for 12mm fasteners, this versatile hanger can be installed onto timber or masonry using appropriate fixings, making it ideal for a wide range of framing scenarios.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: Engineered to provide secure support in demanding timber framing applications.
