Product Description
Simpson Double 2 x 8 Heavy Face-Mount Truss Hanger, Galvanized (HTU28-2) - is a Simpson Strong-Tie engineered connector designed to provide reliable face-mount support for double 2x8 truss members. Built with a nail pattern optimized for shallow heel heights, this heavy hanger delivers full allowable loads even at heel heights as low as 3 7/8", making it a high-performance solution for demanding truss framing applications.
Key Features
- Nail patterns designed specifically for shallow heel heights, so that full allowable loads (with minimum nailing) apply to heel heights as low as 3 7/8"
- Minimum and maximum nailing options provide solutions for varying heel heights and end conditions
- Alternate allowable loads provided for gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member up to 1/2" max., allowing for greater construction tolerances (maximum gap for standard allowable loads is 1/8" per ASTM D7147)
- 16-gauge steel construction for heavy-duty load transfer
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for corrosion resistance
- Compatible with both round-hole-only and combined round and triangle hole nailing configurations for maximum versatility

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the minimum heel height at which this hanger achieves full allowable loads?
- The HTU28-2 nail pattern is engineered so that full allowable loads with minimum nailing apply to heel heights as low as 3 7/8", making it suitable for trusses with shallow heel profiles.
- What fasteners are required to install the HTU28-2?
- The HTU28-2 is installed using 16d common nails and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.
- Is a gap between the truss end and the carrying member acceptable during installation?
- Yes. Alternate allowable loads are provided for gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member of up to 1/2" maximum, accommodating greater construction tolerances. For standard allowable loads, the maximum permissible gap is 1/8" per ASTM D7147.
- Can the HTU28-2 be installed at an angle?
- Yes. The HTU may be skewed up to 67-1/2 deg. to accommodate angled framing conditions..
