The Simpson Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger HUC2.75/12 is an engineered structural connector from Simpson designed for joist-to-header connections where additional strength and elevated safety factors are required. Its concealed header flanges deliver clean, unobtrusive lines that make it equally at home in exposed framing conditions and demanding structural assemblies across residential and commercial construction.

Key Features

• Concealed Header Flanges - Keep visible hardware out of sight along the header, resulting in cleaner architectural lines that suit exposed framing and finish-sensitive installations without sacrificing structural integrity.
• Heavy-Duty, High-Performance Engineering - Built specifically for structural framing assemblies requiring additional strength and elevated safety factors, giving builders and engineers a reliable solution where standard hangers fall short.
• 14-Gauge Steel Construction - The heavier gauge provides increased rigidity and load-carrying capacity, supporting confidence in demanding face-mount joist hanger applications.
• Galvanized Finish - A factory-applied galvanized coating helps resist corrosion, supporting long-term performance in a range of structural environments.
• Domestic Manufacturing
- Produced in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards and reliable material sourcing for professional framing projects.

Why This Product

• Strength Where Standard Hangers Are Not Enough - Engineered for applications that demand additional strength and elevated safety factors, this heavy face-mount hanger is a purposeful upgrade for structural framing assemblies that carry greater loads or stricter performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HUC2.75/12 different from a standard joist hanger?

The HUC2.75/12 is a heavy-duty hanger engineered for applications requiring additional strength and elevated safety factors beyond what standard joist hangers provide. It also features concealed header flanges, which deliver cleaner visible lines - making it well suited for exposed framing and architectural applications where appearance matters alongside structural performance.

What material and gauge is the HUC2.75/12 made from?

The HUC2.75/12 is constructed from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel with a factory-applied galvanized finish. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in demanding structural environments.

How does the HUC2.75/12 install?

The HUC2.75/12 uses a face-mount design, meaning it installs directly to the face of the header. The concealed flanges wrap behind the header so they remain hidden from view, which is particularly beneficial in exposed framing conditions where aesthetics are a consideration.

Where is the HUC2.75/12 manufactured?

The HUC2.75/12 has a Country of Origin of United States, and is domestically manufactured to consistent quality standards.
