Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie LUS48 LUS Series G90 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is an easy-to-install, economical hanger engineered for common lumber sizes, specifically designed to support 4x8 and 4x10 joists, rafters, or beams.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 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 results in greater connection strength while requiring fewer nails, speeding up installation and allowing the use of all common nails for the same connection.
- What lumber sizes is the LUS48 compatible with?
- The LUS48 is designed for a nominal joist size of 4x8 and 4x10 lumber, with a hanger seat width of 3-9/16 in. to accommodate these common dimensional lumber sizes.
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS48?
- 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).
- Is the LUS48 suitable for outdoor or treated-lumber applications?
- Yes. The LUS48 is coated with a G90 galvanized zinc finish, which provides corrosion resistance making it appropriate for applications where exposure to moisture or treated lumber is a concern.
