approved joist hangers

[jtom]

We have always enforced 1 1/2 " bearing on wood or an approved joist hanger for ceiling and floor joists.Does anyone allow a side mounted,teco, hanger to be used.They do not seem to meet code for bearing.

Never seen one approved for bearing.....They may work for lateral restraint.....

Not for a bearing location

Agree, not going to work for bearing.

I'm not sure what you mean by a side mounted hanger. I've attached an image of what I refer to as one but this type is often used for both floors and ceilings so I'm thinking you must be referring to some other type of hanger.

I think we all have been assuming just the angle clips.....Be careful on ceiling flush beams that the hangars you are using are capable of resisting the proper thrust (lateral) or other provisions are made.....Alot of them we see are not....

These side mounted clips are occasionally used in engineered designs but should not be used in prescriptive designs.
