Product Description
The Simpson LUS28-3Z LUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x8 by Simpson Strong-Tie is an easy-to-install, economical hanger engineered for common lumber sizes. Featuring a patented double-shear nailing design, this hanger distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength - allowing for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection. The ZMAX galvanized coating delivers extra corrosion resistance, making it well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS28-3Z?
- Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (6) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (10) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 16DHDG).
- 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 nail rather than one. This increases connection strength while allowing fewer nails to be used, which speeds up installation without sacrificing performance.
- Why is ZMAX coating used on this hanger?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance beyond standard galvanized coatings. This makes the LUS28-3Z suitable for exterior applications and installations involving treated lumber, where standard coatings may degrade more quickly due to chemical exposure or moisture.
- Can the tabs on the LUS28-3Z be bent or removed for easier fitting?
- No. The product data explicitly states that the tabs must not be bent or removed. Modifying the tabs can compromise the structural integrity of the connection and void the load rating of the hanger.
