Basement Ceiling Advice

Finishing my basement but (unless I'm missing something) needing to run strapping to fix for pipe fixture and the fact it will be almost impossible to add blocking necessary for the framed wall parallel to the joists (ductwork that comes in the way, amongst other things). I'm essentially planning on running 2x6's long ways against the TJI-210 trusts. I've been playing with different joist hangers/tie connectors. I've got a couple in the picture but I only really see the RTU2 rigid tie (or actually it's brother RTRZ but not in the picture) working. This would give me the clearance I need while also allowing me the ability to frame parallel to that lomg wall. Anything I'm not thinking of or you'd suggest? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Key_Entertainer_8454 [link] [comments]
