Simpson Strong-Tie Joist Hanger for Masonry: I-Joists-0987

Engineered Masonry Hanger for I-Joist, Truss, and Solid Timber Connections

The Simpson Strong-Tie JHM and JHMI 0987 Series is a robust, pre-galvanised joist hanger system designed to connect engineered timber I-joists, solid sawn joists, and trusses to masonry walls or steel beams. With high flanges, inspection access, and enhanced mortar keying, this hanger range offers superior support and on-site flexibility for a wide variety of timber framing layouts.

Key Features

• Wide Top Flange for Masonry Embedment
  Maximises contact area with masonry, improving support and mortar adhesion for a secure structural fix.

• Built-In Inspection Slot
  A slot at the base of the hanger allows for easy ground-level visual checks, simplifying site inspections and quality assurance.

• Enhanced Flange Strength
  Taller side flanges offer greater resistance to joist rotation, especially in deeper joist installations.

• Mortar Bonding Embossments
  Reinforced with embossed top flanges and pre-formed holes, promoting better mortar keying into block or brickwork.

• Steel Beam Compatibility
  Can be mounted directly to ‘I’ section or hollow steel beams, expanding installation versatility beyond traditional masonry use.

Benefits

• Structural Versatility
  Compatible with solid timber, trussed rafters, and engineered I-joists, ensuring broad application across timber framing systems.

• Improved Stability
  Deep flange profile stabilises the joist against lateral or torsional movement, critical for load distribution.

• Corrosion Resistance
  Constructed from pre-galvanised mild steel for durability in protected indoor or semi-enclosed environments.

• Customisable Sizing
  Additional widths and depths can be made to order, allowing integration into unique framing designs.

Optional Configurations

⚠️ Note: JHMI, JHMIR, and JHMIS hangers do not provide lateral restraint unless additional restraint straps are fitted.
