Simpson Strong Tie offers several top flange hanger options for attaching joists to the Strong Frame moment frame.
ITS — The ITS installs faster and uses fewer nails than any other EWP top‑flange hanger. The Strong‑Grip™ seat enables standard joist installation without joist nails resulting in the lowest installed cost.
BA — A cost‑effective hanger targeted at high-capacity I‑joists and common structural composite lumber applications. A min./max. joist nail option creates added versatility. The unique two-level embossment provides added stiffness to the top flange.
