HUH to steel beam with packer on top

[willbish]

Anybody have an opinion on this method fixing posi-joists to steel?

 

I thought I would have to use a packer in the flange of the steel but seems not.

In my opinion Cullen make some fantastic products. 

I believe you would only need a packer if the hanger and joist did not extend down past the bottom flange

if you read their Manuel carefully you will see each product needs to be used in strict accordance with its intended use.

Can you not top hang them to save buying all the hangers.

The bottoms of steel and joists are to be level

202mm joists high

162mm steel

I used exactly this method on our floor joists But chose to bolt a timber in the rsj More for ease of fixing than anything else 

I asked the steel supplier to pre drill the holes prior to dipping and it took about 15 minutes per beam to bolt timbers in Once we had the in place

We have done similar where we had some steel framework from the ground up to the first floor floor zone.  We packed the webs with timber - shot fired - and face fixed the joist hangers so they could be levelled with the other ends of the joists which were sitting on a soleplate on masonry.
