Frequently Asked Questions
- What member sizes does the Simpson U26-3 support?
- The U26-3 is designed to support triple 2x6 and triple 2x8 nominal lumber members, making it well-suited for heavier multi-ply joist assemblies in wood-framed construction.
- What fasteners should be used to install the U26-3?
- Install the U26-3 using 16d common nails in the header and 10d common nails in the joist. Always follow the load tables and installation guidelines provided by Simpson Strong-Tie for your specific lumber type and application.
- What is the purpose of the speed prongs on this hanger?

- The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides an enhanced level of corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, helping to extend the service life of the connector in environments where moisture exposure may be a concern.
