I will need to hang several purlins from a masonry wall at an angle.
Inserting masonry/timber hangers into the wall and getting all purlins
in line would be very tricky. Hence I will put a ledger plate on the
angle with expanding bolts and fix the purlins using jiffy hangers.
Each will have to support aboud 100kg. Purlins are 225mm x 75mm. Will
long legged jiffy hangers be sufficient for this ?


Even the tiny hangers are good for 1.6kN typically. I think the long leg
ones are well over 6kN, so I can't see your 1kN troubling any of them.

Thanks.
Interesting catalogue. I noticed they have stainless expanded steel
bed reinforcement. I was going to use that at a few places in my
aircrete blocks, but I could only get galvanized. All the BMs said no-
one uses stainless (price of course). In the end I gave up trying to
find stainless and used galv. Its in the inner leaf so no problems I
guess.
As a DIYer you tend to over-engineer everything I find.
