The Simpson Concealed-Flange Heavy Face Mount Hanger 2-5/16 x 16 is a professional-grade joist hanger built for structural framing connections that demand additional strength and elevated safety factors. Designed as a heavy face-mount I-joist hanger, it features concealed header flanges that keep hardware visually unobtrusive - making it a practical choice for exposed timber framing, heavy joist-to-header connections, and demanding residential or commercial construction applications alike.

Key Features

• Concealed Header Flanges - Flanges sit against the header in a way that minimizes their visibility, delivering cleaner, unobtrusive lines in exposed framing conditions where appearance matters alongside structural performance.
• Heavy Face-Mount Configuration - Designed specifically for applications where face-mount installation is required or preferred, providing a secure, load-bearing connection between joists and headers or beams in both residential and commercial construction.
• 14 ga. (68 mil) Steel Construction - The heavy-duty gauge steel provides the structural integrity needed for high-load connections, giving builders and engineers confidence in demanding framing applications.
• Galvanized Finish - Offers corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments, helping the hanger maintain performance over the life of the structure.
• Domestic Manufacturing - Produced in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards expected in professional structural framing work.
• Configurable Options Available - Compatible with configurable variants that include a skewable seat and a seat that slopes up to 45 deg., giving contractors flexibility to adapt the connection to non-standard framing conditions.

Why This Product

• Aesthetics and strength in one hanger - The concealed-flange design addresses a common challenge in exposed timber framing: the concealed header flanges reduce visible hardware bulk so structural connections do not compromise the finished appearance of the framing.
• Engineered for demanding load situations - As a heavy face-mount hanger fabricated from 14 ga. (68 mil) steel, this product is approved for structural framing connections requiring additional strength and elevated safety factors - going beyond what a standard-duty hanger provides.
• Versatile across residential and commercial projects - Approved applications span heavy-duty joist-to-header and joist-to-beam connections in both residential and commercial construction, making this hanger a dependable single solution across a variety of project types.
• Adaptable to complex framing geometry - With configurable options that include a skewable seat and sloped seat up to 45 deg., the hanger can accommodate non-standard angles and conditions without requiring custom fabrication.
