Product Description
The Simpson HUCQ Heavy Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for applications that demand additional strength and safety factors beyond what standard hangers provide. Designed to fit 1-3/4 in. x 9-1/2 in. engineered wood members, this face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges for a clean appearance in exposed framing conditions and is sized to allow installation close to the end of the supporting beam. Each hanger installs using included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, delivering high load capacity with no predrilling required - making it a reliable, efficient choice for connecting wood joists to wood, masonry, or concrete supporting members.
Key Features
- Concealed header flanges - keep the hanger hidden behind the header for cleaner, more finished-looking lines in exposed framing and architectural applications
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUCQ-series hangers meet recognized standards, so builders and inspectors can rely on verified performance data for structural confidence
- Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included - no separate fastener purchase needed, and no predrilling required, saving time and reducing installation steps
- Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete supporting members - versatile enough for a wide range of structural assemblies, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty rigidity needed in high-load structural connections where lighter-gauge hangers would not meet safety requirements
- Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - offers corrosion resistance suited for applications where long-term durability and finish integrity matter
- Designed for installation close to the end of the supporting beam - gives framers placement flexibility in tight or end-of-beam scenarios without sacrificing structural integrity
Why This Product
- Built for high-demand structural applications - the HUCQ is specifically engineered for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the appropriate choice when a standard joist hanger falls short of load or code requirements
- Aesthetic and structural performance in one connector - the concealed-flange design addresses both the structural need for a heavy-duty face-mount hanger and the visual requirement for clean lines in exposed framing conditions, eliminating the need to choose between the two
- Faster installation with no predrilling - the included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws drive without predrilling, reducing labor time on the job while still achieving high connector capacity
- Broad substrate compatibility - a single hanger model handles connections to wood, masonry, and concrete supporting members, streamlining procurement and reducing inventory complexity across mixed-construction projects

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HUCQ different from a standard joist hanger?
The HUCQ is designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors. It features concealed header flanges that provide cleaner lines for exposed conditions and allows installation close to the end of the supporting beam, making it a heavy-duty solution where standard hangers may not meet load or aesthetic requirements.
Do I need to predrill before installing this hanger?
No predrilling is required. The included Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are designed for high capacity installation without predrilling, simplifying the installation process.
What fasteners are required to install the HUCQ1.81/9-SDS, and are they included?
Installation requires (8) 1/4 in. x 1-3/4 in. SDS screws in the header and (4) 1/4 in. x 1-3/4 in. SDS screws in the joist. All 12 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included with this hanger.
Is this hanger code compliant and independently tested?
Yes. HUCQ-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant, providing confidence for use in structural applications where documentation and compliance are required.
