The Simpson HU216-3 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable, high-capacity support for triple 2x16 framing members in demanding construction applications. Built for projects where additional strength and safety factors are required, this heavy-duty hanger gives engineers and contractors a proven connection solution for floor framing, headers, and similar load-bearing assemblies where a secure face-mount attachment is critical.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets installers position the hanger without being locked into a single spot, reducing layout errors and saving time on the job.
• Sized for a nominal triple 2x16 joist - purpose-built for heavy framing members, ensuring a snug, code-consistent fit without field modification.
• Manufactured from 14-gauge steel - the heavier steel construction translates directly to greater load capacity and long-term structural integrity under demanding conditions.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides an elevated level of corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, making this hanger suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance for large framing assemblies - designed specifically for triple 2x16 members, this face-mount hanger addresses high-load structural connections that lighter-duty hangers are not built to handle.
• Trusted engineering behind every connector - Simpson connectors are engineered and tested to perform, and manufactured to rigorous quality standards, giving builders confidence that each connection meets the demands of the structure.
• Flexible installation without sacrificing strength - the "U" design gives installers practical versatility when positioning on the header, so framing crews can work efficiently without compromising the integrity of the connection.
• Built-in corrosion protection for lasting durability - the G90 galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of protection against rust and degradation, helping the hanger maintain its structural role over the life of the building.
