Flange Hanger: Easy To Install
The ITS is a new engineered wood top-flange hanger that is easier and faster to install because it uses fewer nails than any other hanger for wood I-joists. Once the hanger is installed on the header, the I-joist is simply snapped down into place. In addition to its simplicity, the design reduces installed cost.
