Expert's Perspective: This galvanised joist hanger, made of pre-galvanised mild steel, is designed for easy installation and offers strong support. Its wider strap and stamped minimum and maximum nailing schedules enhance the performance of the critical hanger-to-support connection, and a speed-prong feature makes attachment easier. The JHA270 range also includes a location tab for easier alignment, and the model number and size are stamped into the seat for easy identification, even after installation. Published performance values are based on the use of 3.75 x 30mm square twist nails throughout.
