long leg jiffy hangers
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 ? Thanks, Simon. |

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. http://www.dorseyconstructionmateria...jiffystd38.pdf -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Been using the mini ones for decking joists for a few years, no problems. I do screw then in rather than nail them though. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

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. Simon. |

I'm always inclined to use screws, but wondered if the BCO would question this. Certainly more pull-out resitance that twist shank nails, but apparently screws are hardened and less ductile than nails, which can actually give them worse properties under stress. Simon. |
