The Simpson Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and elevated safety factors. Its face-mount design positions it directly against the header for straightforward installation, while concealed header flanges keep the connection clean and unobtrusive - making it a practical choice wherever exposed structural framing needs to look as good as it performs.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - hide the connection hardware from view, producing clean, finished lines in exposed framing conditions where appearance matters alongside load performance
• Heavy-duty construction - built for structures requiring additional strength and higher safety factors, giving builders confidence in demanding structural environments
• Face-mount design - mounts directly against the header, simplifying alignment and installation compared to top-flange or concealed-post alternatives
• Galvanized finish - provides a layer of corrosion resistance suited to typical structural framing environments, helping extend the service life of the connection
• Configurable options available - select configurations support skewed or sloped seat angles up to 45 deg., accommodating non-standard framing conditions without requiring a separate product

Why This Product

• Strength where standard hangers fall short - the HUC heavy series is purpose-built for applications that exceed the load demands of ordinary joist hangers, making it the right fit when structural requirements call for a higher safety margin
• Structural performance without sacrificing aesthetics - the concealed-flange design delivers the load capacity of a heavy face-mount hanger while keeping visible hardware minimal, a meaningful advantage in exposed timber or architectural framing projects
• Versatility for complex framing layouts - with configurable seat options that accommodate slopes up to 45 deg., this hanger handles angled and non-standard installations that would require workarounds with a fixed-seat connector
• Domestically produced by a trusted connector brand - Simpson engineering and United States origin mean the product meets consistent quality standards that structural professionals have relied on across residential and commercial framing applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HUC5.125/13.5 different from a standard joist hanger?

The HUC series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and higher safety factors compared to standard hangers. Its heavy-duty 14 ga. (68 mil) steel construction provides greater load capacity for demanding structural applications.

Why does this hanger have concealed header flanges?

The concealed header flanges are designed to provide cleaner, unobtrusive visible lines. This makes the HUC5.125/13.5 particularly well-suited for exposed framing conditions where a finished, professional appearance is desired alongside structural performance.

Can the seat on this hanger be adjusted for angled installations?

Select models in the HUC series can be configured with a skewable seat and a seat that slopes up to 45 degrees..

What finish does the HUC5.125/13.5 have?

This hanger features a galvanized finish, which provides a layer of corrosion resistance suited for typical structural framing environments.
