Steel joist hangers are commonly used to connect wood joists to wood framing or wood headers in construction. They are typically used in situations where a joist needs to be attached to a supporting beam or header, such as in the construction of decks, roofs, or floors.
The steel hanger is installed by nailing or screwing it to the wood framing or header, and then inserting the wood joist into the hanger. The hanger provides a secure connection between the joist and the supporting structure, ensuring that the joist is properly supported and can safely carry the weight it's designed to handle.
