StiffClip® JH

The StiffClip® JH, joist hanger connects floor joists to beams. StiffClip JH resists vertical loads. Design loads consider clip strength only. Size and number of fasteners used is based on fastener manufacturer’s allowable load data.
Features
  • Faster joist installation
  • Guide holes for attachment to beam and screw placement to member (0.172” in diameter)
  • Engineered for steel joist
  • Structurally load tested
  • Eliminates need for joist web stiffener at clip connection

Nomenclature
StiffClip JH is designated by listing the joist depth in inches, followed by the inside flange dimension in inches x 100 (2” flange is standard, and will also service 1 ⅝” flange), and the required clip thickness in mils that will accommodate anticipated loads.

Example: 6” joist, 2” flange, 2,250 lbs. load
Designate: StiffClip® JH600x200-68

Material Composition
ASTM A1003/A1003M Structural Grade 50 (340) Type H, ST50H (ST340H): 50ksi (340MPa) minimum yield strength, 65ksi (450MPa) minimum tensile strength, with ASTM A653/A653M G90 (Z275) hot dipped galvanized coating.

StiffClip® JH Applications

The unique design of MasterClip allows it to be installed either as a vertical deflection connection or a rigid connection.  Attachment to the primary structure may be made with a PAF, screw/bolt anchors, or weld and is dependent upon the base material (steel or concrete) and the design configuration.

Joist Connection to Steel Beam

Installation Instructions

  1. Attach StiffClip JH to beam with required fasteners. Use blocking behind clip if clip length is less than beam depth.
  2. Place joist on ledge of StiffClip JH and attach clip to joist with required screws.

Load Table Notes:

  • Design loads are for attachment of StiffClip JH to joist only. Load tables reflect vertical loads (F3).
  • StiffClip JH resists vertical loads and web crippling.
  • Design loads are based on clip capacity and allowable shear of joist section.
  • Screw size and quantity shown is required for StiffClip JH to serve as a joist web stiffener.
  • If joist web is larger than clip height then use blocking behind clip for support.
  • Allowable loads have not been increased for wind, seismic, or other factors.
  • Screws, powder actuated fasteners, or weld attachment may be used to oconnect StiffClip JH to steel headers or beams. StiffClip JH-68 and heavier can be welded to a supporting steel beam. Powder actuated fasteners into steel are recommended to be 0.157″ diameter, and are limited to a maximum of 3/4″ subtrate thickness.
  • For LRFD strengths contact TSN technical services.
