Product Description
The MEGANT beam hanger systems are pre-engineered, high-capacity post-to-beam connections manufactured from aluminum. They allow mass timber member installation from all directions (top, bottom & sides) due to their unique composition.
The system includes two connector plates, two clamping jaws (one threaded / one unthreaded), and up to three threaded rods, washers, & nuts that will tighten the assembly together once in place (from top down or bottom up). They are fully concealable, providing adequate fire resistance rating, and are ideal for a serial preinstallation in a shop-controlled environment.
The MEGANT uses a combination of 45° & 90° angled, fully threaded ASSY VG CSK 5/16” x 6-1/4” [8 x 160mm] screws. These fasteners are ICC-ESR approved in the United States and accredited by a Canadian Construction Materials Centre Reports (CCMC) approval in Canada. Using a Pre-Drilling Jig accelerates the process even further and reduces the overall connection’s cost, while also ensuring successful and uniform installation.
