The Simpson HU2.1/11 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a structural framing connector built by Simpson Strong-Tie for use with 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. engineered wood joists in applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Manufactured from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this heavy-duty hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant - making it a dependable choice for engineers, contractors, and builders working on residential and commercial framing projects where structural performance cannot be compromised.

Key Features

• Extra optional triangle holes for additional load - gives installers flexibility to increase load capacity when project conditions require it, without switching to a different connector
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - meets building code requirements so contractors can use this hanger with confidence on permitted structural framing projects
• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - simplifies positioning during installation and accommodates minor variations in header placement without sacrificing a secure connection
• Accommodates actual joist sizes of 2 in. or 2-1/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. to 16 in. - provides a practical fit range for common engineered lumber dimensions, reducing the risk of mismatches on the job site
• Made from 14-gauge steel - delivers the heavy-duty strength required for load-bearing structural connections in demanding framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments, helping maintain structural integrity over the life of the structure

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance where standard hangers fall short - the HU series is specifically engineered for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the right upgrade when a standard face-mount hanger is not sufficient for the load demands of the project
• Code-compliant and independently tested - HU-series hangers are tested and load rated, giving builders, inspectors, and engineers the documentation and assurance needed to use them in code-governed construction without guesswork
• Trusted by engineers and contractors - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are the recognized choice among building professionals, meaning this hanger carries the reputation and engineering rigor that comes from a brand built on structural connector expertise
• Built-in corrosion protection for long-term reliability - the G90 galvanized finish adds a layer of durability that makes this hanger suitable for framing environments where moisture exposure is a real concern, protecting the connection over time
