The Simpson 4 x 9-1/2 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger HUC4.12/9 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand elevated strength and reliable load-carrying performance. Its face-mount design attaches directly to the header or beam face for straightforward installation, while concealed header flanges keep exposed framing looking clean and finished - making this hanger a practical solution wherever structural hardware remains visible after construction is complete.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty face-mount configuration - attaches directly to the face of the header or beam, simplifying installation across a wide range of structural framing situations without requiring special preparation or additional hardware
• Concealed header flanges - tuck out of sight to deliver cleaner visible lines in exposed framing conditions, so aesthetics and structural integrity work together rather than against each other
• 14 gauge (68 mil) steel construction - provides the robust load-carrying capacity needed for structures with additional strength and safety factor requirements, giving builders confidence in demanding applications
• Galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance across a variety of installation environments, helping the connector maintain its integrity and performance over the long term
• Sized for 4 x 9-1/2 lumber - purpose-built dimensions mean the hanger fits the intended member correctly from the start, reducing fitment guesswork and saving time on the job

Why This Product

• Built for demanding structural applications - the heavy-duty, 14 gauge (68 mil) steel design is specifically intended for structures that require additional strength and safety factors, making it a sound choice when standard hangers are not sufficient for the load or code requirements at hand
• Appearance-friendly without sacrificing strength - the concealed-flange design addresses a common challenge in exposed framing: maintaining a clean, professional look while still meeting structural performance requirements
• Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by Simpson's reputation for precision-engineered structural connectors, this hanger is built to consistent tolerances that professional framers and contractors rely on for predictable installation results
• Domestic production - manufactured in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards and reliable availability for project planning purposes
