Multi Functional Hanger – MINI – Galvanised 47 x 97mm – Box 10
£18.80£22.56 EX VATINC VAT
Galvanised mini multi functional hanger for medium to heavy duty timber-to-timber connections. Accepts different fixing types for greater flexibility. Note: overall length is measured flat. Hangers above 150mm are manufactured 10mm shorter to allow for notching and regularised timber.
The 47 x 97mm galvanised mini multi functional hanger is a compact, purpose-built connector for timber-to-timber applications where space is tight but load requirements are anything but light. Whether you are hanging joists off a trimmer, fixing into a built-up beam, or working in a confined floor zone, this hanger does the job without requiring a bespoke bracket. It is the kind of fitting that sits quietly in the toolbox until the moment it becomes exactly what you need.
Manufactured from galvanised steel, the hanger offers solid corrosion resistance for both internal structural use and moderately exposed environments. The galvanised finish means it holds up in roof voids, suspended timber floors, and anywhere else that sees a bit of moisture over the years. Structurally, it is rated for medium to heavy duty use, which covers the vast majority of residential and light commercial timber framing applications.
Where the Mini Multi Functional Hanger Earns Its Keep
The design accepts different fixing types, which is genuinely useful on site. Rather than being locked to a single nail pattern, you can use it with joist hanger nails, screws, or other appropriate fixings depending on what you have available and what the timber specification requires. That adaptability reduces the number of bracket variants you need to carry and makes it easier to work around what is already on the van.
One thing worth knowing: the overall length quoted refers to the hanger measured flat, before it is formed around the timber. Do not confuse this with the installed depth. For hangers above 150mm, the length is manufactured 10mm shorter than the stated size to accommodate notching and regularised timber, keeping the seating tight and the load path clean. It is one of those details that matters when you are specifying or ordering in quantity.
Pack Size and Availability
Supplied in a box of ten, which suits small jobs and one-off repairs without leaving you with a surplus. If you are working on a larger project, ordering multiple boxes through DTS gets you into bulk pricing territory, which is where the value starts to stack up. Consistent galvanised finish across the batch means no surprises when you open the second box.
Pro Tip: Always check your timber is regularised and to the correct section size before installing: an undersized joist sitting loosely in the hanger seat compromises the load transfer and defeats the purpose of the fitting entirely.
Multi functional hangers like this are used wherever one timber member needs to be supported off another at a right angle, typically in floor construction, flat roof decks, stud partitions, and mezzanine platforms. The 47 x 97mm size suits standard joists and smaller structural sections commonly found in domestic new builds, extensions, and loft conversions. Joiners, carpenters, and general builders reach for these regularly when framing out floor zones or fixing trimmers around openings.
Best For
- Timber-to-timber joist connections
- Floor and flat roof construction

Key Specifications
- Size: 47 x 97mm (flat measurement)
- Material: galvanised steel
- Duty rating: medium to heavy
- Hangers over 150mm manufactured 10mm shorter for notching allowance
- Box quantity: 10
Not suitable for: Not suitable for masonry-to-timber connections or applications requiring a specific structural load rating without engineer sign-off. Not intended for use with non-regularised or undersized timber sections.
Fit the hanger to the supporting timber or header beam first, securing through the back plate with appropriate joist hanger nails or structural screws. Seat the joist fully into the hanger pocket before fixing through the side flanges. Do not fix the joist before it is fully seated or the hanger will be working at an angle and load transfer will be poor.
Remember that the stated overall length is a flat measurement. Check your timber section matches the hanger size before ordering in bulk, particularly on jobs where the structural engineer has specified a particular joist depth.
- Check the timber section size matches the 47 x 97mm hanger opening before starting
- Offer the hanger up to the supporting beam or header and mark fixing hole positions
- Secure the back plate to the supporting timber using joist hanger nails or approved structural screws through all available fixing holes
- Drop the joist into the hanger seat and ensure it sits fully home with no gap between the timber end and the back plate
- Fix through the side flanges into the joist using the appropriate fixings, working both sides evenly
- Check the installed hanger is plumb and the joist is level before loading
What does 'overall length refers to length when flat' actually mean in practice?
The 97mm length dimension is measured before the hanger is bent into its U-shape. Once formed, the usable seat depth will be less than 97mm. This is standard practice for pressed metal hangers, so always verify the flat dimensions match your timber section rather than assuming the formed depth equals the stated length.
Can I use standard screws instead of joist hanger nails with this hanger?
Yes, the multi functional hanger design accepts different fixing types including structural screws, which is one of its advantages over single-fix hangers. Use fixings rated for structural timber connections and fill all available holes to achieve the rated load capacity.
Pressed from galvanised steel strip, the 47 x 97mm mini multi functional hanger provides corrosion resistance suitable for internal and semi-exposed structural applications. The galvanised coating protects against rust in roof voids, floor zones, and other areas subject to periodic moisture. The formed profile distributes joist load across the full seat and flanges, maintaining load transfer integrity in medium to heavy duty timber framing. Hangers in sizes above 150mm are produced 10mm undersize to accommodate notching and regularised timber tolerances.
