The Simpson HU210-3Z Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable, high-strength support for triple 2x10 framing members in demanding applications. Built for projects where additional strength and safety factors are required, this heavy-duty hanger is a go-to choice among engineers and contractors who need a connector that is both engineered to perform and manufactured to the highest quality standards. With ZMAX galvanization and 14-gauge steel construction, it is well suited for exterior framing and structures built with treated lumber where long-term durability is essential.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you position the hanger accurately across a variety of structural configurations without being locked into a single mounting location, saving time and reducing frustration during installation.
• Designed for a nominal triple 2x10 joist - provides a precisely sized, heavy-duty face-mount connection that keeps triple-member joist assemblies secure and properly aligned in load-bearing framing.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - delivers the structural thickness needed for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors, giving contractors and builders confidence in the connection's integrity.
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications - goes beyond standard galvanization to help the hanger hold up against the accelerated corrosion that can occur when exposed to moisture or the chemicals present in pressure-treated lumber.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance where standard hangers fall short - the HU210-3Z is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the appropriate choice when a standard-duty connector does not meet engineering requirements for triple-member joist connections.
• Enhanced corrosion protection built for real-world conditions - ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance that makes this hanger a dependable fit for exterior decks, covered porches, and any framing that involves treated wood, where long-term connector integrity truly matters.
• Trusted by engineers and contractors - Simpson connectors are engineered and tested to perform, and are the documented choice of building professionals who need connectors that meet code requirements and hold up under inspection.
• Flexible installation saves time on the job - the "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header, so installers can work efficiently across different framing layouts without having to force alignment or make unnecessary adjustments.
