The Koelner D-WB-815 beam hanger is a professional-grade structural connector engineered for secure timber-to-timber and timber-to-masonry connections. With dimensions of 80x150 mm, this bracket is manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental factors. It is designed to support heavy loads in various wooden construction projects, ensuring structural integrity and long-term stability for floor joists, rafters, and framing systems.
Advantages
The primary benefit of this beam hanger is its robust construction, which allows for efficient load distribution across wooden elements. The galvanized coating significantly extends the lifespan of the connector by protecting it against rust, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Its precise dimensions facilitate quick and accurate installation, reducing labor time while maintaining high safety standards in structural assembly.
Suitable for
- Installation of floor joists
- Securing rafters in roof construction
- General timber framing projects
- Connecting wooden beams to masonry walls
This product may not be suitable for applications involving extremely high-load industrial steel structures or environments with high chemical exposure that could degrade the galvanized coating. It is also not intended for use in load-bearing applications where the specific dimensions do not align with the beam size, as this could compromise the structural connection.
Key specifications
- Dimensions: 80x150 mm
- Material: Galvanized steel
- Application: Timber-to-timber or timber-to-masonry
- Design: Professional structural connector
To use the beam hanger, position the bracket against the supporting member and secure it using appropriate structural nails or screws through the pre-drilled holes. Ensure that the beam is fully seated within the hanger to achieve maximum load-bearing capacity. It is essential to use fasteners that are compatible with the hanger's hole diameter and the material of the supporting structure.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 80x150 mm dimensions match your specific beam size
- Ensure the supporting structure is capable of bearing the intended load
- Check local building codes for structural connection requirements
- Confirm you have the correct type of fasteners for your specific substrate
For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that all pre-drilled holes are filled with the recommended fasteners. Regularly inspect connections in outdoor environments to ensure the galvanized layer remains intact and free from significant corrosion.
