The Simpson 4 x 11-7/8 to 16 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face Mount Hanger is a professional-grade structural connector built for framing applications that demand both dependable load capacity and clean finished aesthetics. Engineered by Simpson to accommodate 4x joist members with depths ranging from 11-7/8 to 16 inches, this heavy face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges that tuck behind the header for unobtrusive, visually clean results - making it a practical choice for exposed architectural framing as well as demanding structural conditions.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - hide behind the header to deliver clean, finished visible lines, keeping exposed framing looking intentional and professional without sacrificing structural integrity.
• Heavy face-mount design - mounts directly to the face of the header for straightforward installation alignment, reducing layout complexity on the job site.
• Accommodates 4x lumber from 11-7/8 to 16 inches in depth - provides flexibility across a range of joist sizes within a single connector, reducing the need to source multiple hangers for varied framing depths.
• 14-gauge (68 mil) steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength required for structures with elevated load and safety factor requirements, supporting long-term structural reliability.
• Galvanized finish - provides a protective barrier against corrosion, helping extend the service life of the connector in challenging or moisture-prone environments.

Why This Product

• Handles a wide joist depth range in one connector - with compatibility spanning 11-7/8 to 16 inches, this hanger covers multiple heavy framing scenarios without requiring a different part for each joist size, simplifying procurement and on-site inventory.
• Built for projects where appearance and strength both matter - the concealed-flange design means this heavy-duty connector works equally well in exposed timber framing conditions where visible hardware would detract from the finished look.
• Heavy-gauge steel gives structural confidence - the 14-gauge (68 mil) build is specifically suited to applications requiring additional strength and safety margins, making it appropriate for demanding residential and commercial framing work.
• Made in the United States by a trusted connector brand - Simpson brings consistent manufacturing standards to this connector, giving builders and engineers a reliable component for load-path critical connections.
