Simpson Strong-Tie JHA270/38 Height-Adjustable Joist Hanger 38mm

Summary

The Simpson Strong-Tie JHA270/38 is a height-adjustable joist hanger engineered to support 38mm wide solid sawn timber joists from carrying timber members. Manufactured from pre-galvanised mild steel, it is suitable for Service Class 2 indoor environments and carries CE marking, UKCA marking, and ETA certification. The short-leg (JHA270) design is ideal for standard floor and roof framing applications where a face-fix or wrap-over installation is required.

Features

• Height-adjustable strap accommodates joists at variable heights, with a range of 125-200mm
• Manufactured from pre-galvanised mild steel for durability and corrosion resistance
• Integrated speed-prong temporarily grips the hanger in position for single-handed alignment, eliminating the need to hold the hanger, joist and nail simultaneously
• Location tab (JHA270 range) enables precise alignment against the supporting timber face
• Wider strap increases surface area on the supporting member, allowing greater nail spacing and improving load performance at the critical hanger-to-support connection
• Minimum and maximum nailing schedules stamped directly onto the strap for clear on-site guidance
• Model number and width stamped into the seat for easy identification after installation
• Can be face-fixed or wrapped over the header to achieve maximum structural load capacity
• Holds CE marking, UKCA marking, and European Technical Assessment (ETA) approval
