Hi. I am removing a support wall in my house and I am wanting to hide the support beam.I am planning to cut the floor joists and use hangers to support them after,so the beam won't show on finished ceiling.Just wondering if there is something out there that I could use as joist hangers.The existing floor josits are the real 2 by 10's not 1 1/2x 9 1/2.Thanks in advance for any help.

Shouldn't one of the lumber yards you deal with as a "renovator" be able to answer your question?

Thanks Again

Check out LF209. It's a Simpson face mount joist hanger 2-1/16" by 9-1/4". You also might be able to use an IUS 2.06/9.5. It for an engineered I joist, but the size is right and might work.
Just did this on a kitchen remodel. Use an ijoist hanger and fill in the void with osb or plywood. Or you could use any hanger that is wider than the joist. I make the osb 2 1/4 x 9 1/4. A double joist hanger 3'' with 1/2 '' on both sides would also work. Beats having to wait on a special order.

joist hangers for old lumber
I think the LF209 hangers are only available in Canada. No one I checked with could find them in St Louis.
I special ordered U210R (for 2x10 rough-cut) joist hangers for attaching (ca. 1860) true 2x10s to a new LVL beam. (I find the simpson site difficult to find what I need unless I know the product code.)

That is a helluva first post!
first post
I know that thread was a few years old, but I wasted a day trying to find the LF series hanger that the east-coaster referred to. Just wanted to save others (or myself, if I forget what it is called) time. Structural engineers can't like the common method of padding the sides with plywood...the nails don't go into the joist as far...
