The HUSTF Heavy U-Shaped Top Flange Hanger is engineered for high-load applications, offering superior strength and stability in wood-to-wood connections. Designed for solid sawn lumber, this hanger features a U-shaped design that fully encapsulates the beam, ensuring a secure fit and enhanced load capacity.
Crafted from G90 galvanized steel, the HUSTF hangers provide exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for interior, dry environments and general construction projects. Whether youre working on residential, commercial, or industrial wood framing applications, these hangers deliver reliable performance and long-term durability.
Key Features:
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Engineered for high-load conditions and demanding structural applications.
- G90 Galvanized Coating: Provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and dry-use environments.
- Full U-Shaped Wrap: Securely encases the carried beam for optimal load distribution and stability.
- Optimized for Solid Sawn Lumber: Designed to support various beam widths and depths while ensuring a snug, load-rated connection.
- Top Flange Design: Allows for secure installation on supporting members, improving structural integrity.
Installation:
- Flange Fastening: Installed using face nails or structural screws for a secure connection to the support beam.
- Joist Fastening: Requires nails or screws in the designated side holes to fasten the joist securely within the hanger.
- Ensure Flush Installation: The top flange should sit flush against the supporting member to maximize load distribution.
- Follow Manufacturers Load Tables: Always reference Simpson Strong-Ties published load values to verify hanger performance for your specific application.
Applications:
- Floor Framing: Securely connects joists to beams for enhanced floor system stability.
- Roof Trusses & Rafters: Provides strong, load-rated connections in roof framing applications.
- Commercial Construction: Used in heavy-duty structural applications where strength and reliability are essential.
- Industrial Wood Structures: Supports engineered wood framing in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and industrial buildings.
- Decks & Outdoor Structures (in covered, dry locations): Ensures solid beam-to-beam connections in protected environments.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
