Product Description
The Simpson HF36N HFN High-Capacity Panelized Construction Hanger for 3x6 is a top-flange hanger engineered by Simpson specifically for the panelized roofing industry. Modeled after the first hangers ever created by Simpson Strong-Tie, the HFN series carries a proven track record of dependability built over decades of real-world use. Designed for environments that rely on jigs or similar devices for precision fabrication, this hanger supports expedited panel installation, making it one of the most cost-effective top-flange hanger solutions available for panelized roof construction.
Key Features
- Compression dimples lock the joist in place instead of joist nails - eliminates extra nailing steps during assembly, so crews move faster through panelized roof installation without sacrificing a secure connection
- Designed to allow panels to drop easily into place - the geometry of the hanger supports smooth, repeatable panel placement when working with precision jig-fabricated components, keeping workflow on pace
- For panelized roof construction only - purpose-built for this specific application, so structural engineers and contractors can specify it with confidence knowing it is rated and intended for this use case
- Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a strong, reliable metal thickness suited to the load demands of top-flange panelized hanger applications
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance that helps maintain structural integrity in demanding job-site conditions over time
- Installs with 0.148 in. x 2-1/8 in. nails or 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails into the header - straightforward fastener requirements mean no specialty hardware is needed to complete the installation
Why This Product
- Rooted in original Simpson Strong-Tie hanger design - the HFN series is modeled after the first hangers created by Simpson Strong-Tie, giving buyers a connection product backed by a long history of field-proven performance in panelized construction
- Faster installation through smarter engineering - by using compression dimples rather than joist nails to secure the member, this hanger cuts down on labor steps during panelized roof assembly, directly reducing installation time and cost on the job
- Built for precision panelized fabrication - the drop-in panel design works in sync with jig-based fabrication methods, making it a natural fit for shops and crews that prioritize repeatable, accurate panel production
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 galvanized coating helps protect the hanger against the wear and environmental exposure common in roof construction environments, supporting the long-term integrity of the structure

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HF36N faster to install than traditional joist hangers?
The HF36N uses compression dimples instead of joist nails to lock the joist in place. This design eliminates the need for additional nailing into the joist member, significantly speeding up the installation process during panelized roof assembly.
Is the HF36N suitable for all types of roof construction?
No. All F and HFN hangers, including the HF36N, are designed for panelized roof construction only. They are intended for use in environments that use jigs or similar devices for precision fabrication.
What fasteners are required to install the HF36N?
The HF36N installs with 0.148 in. x 2-1/8 in. nails or <a href="/collections/connector-nails-0-148-x-3">0.148 in. x 3 in.</a> nails into the header.
What corrosion protection does the HF36N offer?
The HF36N features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides an added layer of corrosion resistance to help maintain the structural integrity of the hanger in demanding construction environments.
