3 x timber, joist hangers ?

[george765]

The structural engineer has specified 3x 50mmx200mm timbers bolted together at 500mm centres for my floor span. I understand and have seen timber to masonary joist hangers, but do they make a hanger for a tripple beam ? or do you use three seperate hanger (but surely they would conflict with each other ?)
advice much apreciated.

You can get single joist hangers for 150 wide joists but I would check your engineer is happy with this solution given that we assume this beam will be supporting other elements.

Simpson Strongtie do a triple hanger. You can't use three individual hangers

But your engineer should be specifying the bearing detail and not just the beam
