Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie PFD28B is a galvanized top-flange saddle hanger engineered specifically for post-frame construction with nominal 2x8 joists. Built from 20-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, this one-piece hanger features dome-shaped joist nail holes that guide nails into the correct installation angle and a folded seat that raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius, enabling a tighter connection to the back of the hanger. The solid, one-piece top flange allows for accurate and fast installation in demanding post-frame applications.
Key Features
- Installation prongs make setting the hanger quick and easy
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist, providing greater strength with fewer nails
- Dome-shaped joist nail holes guide nails into the proper installation angle for consistent, code-compliant fastening
- Folded seat raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius to enable a tighter connection to the back of the hanger
- Solid, one-piece top flange allows for accurate and fast installation
- PFDSB models are for double 2x support, and PFDLB saddles are for LVL support
- Made from 20-gauge steel
- Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
- Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the PFD28B designed to support?
- The PFD28B is designed for a nominal 2x8 joist, making it suitable for standard post-frame construction applications using 2x8 lumber.
- What fasteners are required to install the PFD28B?
- The PFD28B installs with either 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails or 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails. Note that 0.148 in. x 3 in. purlin nails must be driven at an angle through the purlin into the header, while 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. purlin nails are driven at an angle into the purlin but do not penetrate into the header.
- What is the double-shear nailing design and why does it matter?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist. This engineering approach provides greater strength with fewer nails, improving both structural performance and installation efficiency.
- Is the PFD28B suitable for use in corrosive or outdoor environments?
- Yes. The PFD28B features a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it well suited for outdoor post-frame construction environments where exposure to moisture is a concern.
