The Simpson HUC214-2 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger for Double 2x14 is a heavy-duty joist hanger engineered by Simpson for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors. Its concealed header flanges keep hardware out of sight in exposed framing conditions, delivering clean, finished visible lines without sacrificing structural performance. Built from 14-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this face-mount hanger is equally at home connecting wood joists to wood framing, masonry, or concrete - making it a versatile solution for demanding residential and commercial applications alike.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep metal hardware hidden in exposed conditions, producing cleaner visible lines where aesthetics matter alongside structural integrity
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors beyond standard hanger capacity
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending service life in moisture-prone or demanding environments
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow additional fasteners to be added when higher load capacity is needed, giving installers built-in flexibility
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - broadens the range of projects and substrates a single hanger model can support
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders, inspectors, and project owners confidence that every installation meets recognized standards

Why This Product

• Strength where it counts, with a cleaner look - the concealed-flange design handles heavy double 2x14 members while keeping visible hardware minimal, so structural performance does not come at the cost of finished appearance in open-ceiling or exposed-beam applications
• Tested and code compliant out of the box - HUC-series hangers carry load ratings backed by testing, reducing guesswork on job sites and simplifying inspections without requiring additional engineering sign-off for standard applications
• Adaptable to multiple substrate types - a single hanger model supports installation into wood framing, masonry, and concrete, reducing the need to source different connectors across mixed-material projects
• Built-in upgrade path for higher loads - the optional triangle holes let contractors increase load capacity by adding fasteners, providing a straightforward way to meet elevated design requirements without switching to a different hanger
