The Simpson HU216-2 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is engineered by Simpson to deliver the additional strength and safety factors demanded by heavy framing applications. Designed specifically for double 2x16 nominal joist members, this face-mount hanger is built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, making it a dependable choice for structural connections where performance and durability are non-negotiable. Trusted by engineers and contractors on projects ranging from residential framing to code-compliant commercial builds, this hanger brings proven Simpson Strong-Tie engineering to every connection.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - makes positioning and alignment easier during installation, reducing layout time and improving accuracy on the job.
• Nominal joist size: Double 2x16 - purpose-built to accommodate a doubled-up 2x16 member, ensuring a secure, properly rated connection for heavy-duty floor and roof framing systems.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - provides the heavy-duty structural integrity required for load-bearing connections where standard-gauge hangers would be insufficient.
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance - the G90 zinc galvanized finish helps protect against moisture and corrosion, supporting long-term performance in a wide range of construction environments.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for demanding structural loads - the combination of 14-gauge steel and a face-mount design means this hanger is engineered specifically for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors, not just standard framing connections.
• Flexible "U" design streamlines the installation process - the open "U" profile gives installers freedom of placement along the header, making it easier to achieve accurate positioning without having to predetermine the exact hanger location before setting the beam.
• G90 galvanized coating built for lasting protection - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic corrosion resistance, helping this double joist hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern over the life of the structure.
• Engineered and tested to meet the standards professionals rely on - Simpson connectors are manufactured to rigorous quality standards and are the go-to choice of engineers and contractors for code-compliant structural framing projects.
