Single Piece Masonry Hanger 50 x 175mm

50mm x 175mm Single Piece Joist Hanger is designed to provide robust support for timber joists integrated into brick or block walls with a minimum crushing strength of 3.5N/mm. It is equally suitable for a range of timber-to-timber applications, ensuring the masonry flange is securely affixed to the timber or steel beams using appropriate fixings. The straight top flange, along with a lock plate, enables the hanger to be effortlessly transformed into a straddle or hook-over configuration, with no need for specialized equipment. The hanger is rated for a long-term safe working load of 5.4 kN.
