Troubleshooting

Hanger does not fit the joist width

Verify the joist dimensions against the 150mm inner width specification; do not force fit if the timber is wider.

Fasteners are not sitting flush

Ensure you are using the correct size of square twist nails intended for the pre-punched holes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible design fits various timber depths
  • Galvanized finish protects against environmental corrosion
  • Pre-punched holes expedite the installation process
  • Ideal for complex projects like loft conversions

Cons

  • Sold as a single unit, which may not be cost-effective for large framing jobs
  • Requires specific sheradised nails for proper structural compliance
  • Not suitable for non-timber or non-I-beam substrates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that the joist width is compatible with the 150mm interior dimension. Before installation, ensure the supporting surface is level and cleared of debris.

  1. Position the hanger over the supporting I-beam or timber.
  2. Utilize the flexi-joint to adjust the depth to the required joist drop.
  3. Fasten securely through the pre-punched holes using sheradised square twist nails to maintain the corrosion-resistant properties of the connection.

While the galvanized coating offers excellent rust resistance, it is recommended to keep the product in a dry, ventilated area prior to installation to ensure the finish remains intact for long-term structural service.
