The Simpson Strong-Tie SAE and SAI series are heavy-duty face fix joist hangers, designed for demanding applications where enhanced strength, stability, and code compliance are essential. Suitable for solid sawn timber, engineered joists, and purlins, these hangers are ideal for large-span structural frameworks, including truss connections and girder supports.
Heavy-Duty Face FixingSAE hangers can be fixed using square twist nails and are also pre-drilled for 12mm bolts for high-load timber-to-timber or timber-to-steel applications.
Lateral StabilityThe hanger depth must be at least 60% of the carried member depth to prevent rotational failure—unless additional lateral restraint is installed above the joist.
Flexible Use with FastenersFixing options include nails for timber-to-timber connections, and bolts for timber-to-steel or where structural bolting is required.
Material StrengthMade from pre-galvanised mild steel, providing strength and corrosion resistance in protected interior and structural environments.
Quick InstallationEngineered for fast and secure fitting, even in complex or constrained site conditions.
Heavy-duty timber joist and girder support
Connections requiring high shear and uplift resistance
Roof and floor framing systems in commercial and residential buildings
Timber-to-timber and timber-to-steel interface zones
Purlin support in agricultural or industrial buildings
Select appropriate model based on joist width and required load capacity.
Fix to the face of the supporting member using square twist nails.
If additional capacity is required or fixing into steel, use 12mm bolts through pre-drilled holes.
Ensure hanger depth covers at least 60% of joist depth, or install restraint straps to the top of the carried member.
Always follow manufacturer and engineer specifications for fastener type, spacing, and load requirements.
Do not exceed published capacities without verified structural design.
For external use, additional corrosion protection or stainless steel versions may be required.
For partial nailing, refer to reduced capacities in Simpson Strong-Tie technical documents.
Widths: Available from 38mm to 200mm, with corresponding depths from 75mm up to 275mm or more.
Header Types: Can be mounted to solid timber, I-joists, or steel members.
Carried Members: Compatible with solid sawn joists, purlins, and engineered timber.
For specific joist size compatibility, see product reference table for exact measurements and fixing options.
