Single Piece Masonry Hanger 47 x 125mm

47mm x 125mm Single Piece Joist Hanger is designed to support timber joists built into brick or block walls with a minimum crushing strength of 3.5N/mm. It is also suitable for many timber-to-timber applications by securely fixing the masonry flange to timber or steel beams using appropriate fixings. The straight top flange and a lock plate allow the hanger to be transformed into a straddle or hook over configuration, without the need for special equipment. The hanger has a long-term safe working load of 5.4 kN.
