Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HUS26Z HUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for 2x6 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for applications where higher load values are needed. Built from 16-gauge steel with Simpson's ZMAX galvanized coating, this face-mount hanger delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and structural performance for exterior and treated-wood construction. Its innovative double-shear nailing design distributes load through two points on each joist nail, resulting in a stronger, more efficient connection with fewer fasteners and faster installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the HUS26Z different from a standard joist hanger?
- The HUS26Z is engineered for applications where higher load values are required. Its double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength compared to single-shear designs and allowing the use of fewer nails without sacrificing performance.
- Why is ZMAX coating important for this hanger?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance, making the HUS26Z well-suited for exterior applications and use with treated lumber, which can be chemically aggressive to standard galvanized coatings. This helps ensure a longer service life in demanding environments.
- Can the tabs on the HUS26Z be bent or removed to fit my application?
- No. The tabs on the HUS26Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the hanger in this way would compromise its structural integrity and void its load rating and code compliance.
- What fasteners should be used to install the HUS26Z?
- Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or #10 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws. Using the correct fasteners is essential to achieving the rated load values for this hanger.
