Galvanised Light Duty Timber Hangers (38/47mm)

Galvanised Light Duty Timber Hangers (38 mm and 47 mm) are pre-galvanised steel connectors designed to support timber joists, beams, or trimmers from timber members in light-duty applications.

Key Specifications:

• Material: 0.9 mm pre-galvanised mild steel (Z275 or equivalent to BS EN 10346 DX51D + G275).
• 38 mm version: Suited for ~38 mm wide timber joists; typical dimensions approx. 38 mm (width) × 270–280 mm (length) × 50 mm (bearing depth) with adjustable or standard legs (around 120–130 mm strap length).
• 47 mm version: Suited for ~47 mm wide timber joists; typical dimensions approx. 47 mm (width) × 270–280 mm (length) × 50 mm (bearing depth) with adjustable or standard legs.
• Fasteners: Pre-punched holes for fixing with 30 × 3.75 mm square twist nails (typically all holes filled for full performance). Wider 50 mm strap legs improve nail spacing and performance.
• Performance: Suitable for light loads (e.g. ceiling joists, decking, loft trimmers); characteristic loads vary by size, timber, and configuration—commonly 2–4 kN range depending on application.

Common uses: Supporting ceiling joists, decking frameworks, trimming around openings, and general light timber-to-timber connections. They provide a secure, non-skew-nailed joint and can often be face-fixed or wrapped over.

These are standard CE/ETA-marked connectors widely used in UK and European timber framing. Always follow manufacturer installation instructions and local building codes for approved load values.
