Abstract
A joist hanger includes a joist retention member, one or more flanges disposed at a top portion of the joist retention member, and a bracket having at least one arm thereof coupled to at least one or more flanges. A system for constructing a structure having a defined fire-rating along a wall that has a top plate and at least one vertical support member can include a joist hanger and fire resistant construction material. The joist hanger can include a joist retention member, a flange coupled to the joist retention member, and a bracket coupled to the flange. The flange is selectively attached to the top plate of the wall. The bracket at least partially defines a space between the vertical support member and the joist retention member, the fire resistant construction material being disposed within the space. The bracket is selectively attached to one or more of the vertical support member or the fire resistant construction material by an attachment mechanism.
