• G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating - Provides dependable corrosion resistance that holds up in demanding environments and meets compatibility requirements for treated lumber installations.
• Face-Mount Design - Installs directly to the face of a supporting beam, ledger, or header, making integration into framed assemblies straightforward and reducing installation complexity on the job site.
• Configurable Seat Options - Available with a skewable seat or a sloping seat of up to 45 deg. to accommodate angled and sloped framing conditions, adding versatility for specialized structural applications.
• Domestic Manufacturing - Produced in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards expected in engineered structural connectors.

Why This Product

• Engineered for Demanding Structural Work - This hanger is specifically rated for framing assemblies that exceed standard load requirements, making it a practical choice when safety margins and structural capacity are top priorities.
• Broad Application Compatibility - The face-mount configuration works across a range of common framing scenarios - including connections to beams, ledgers, and headers - while the configurable seat options extend its usefulness to sloped or skewed framing conditions up to 45 deg.
• Corrosion Protection Matched to the Job - The G90 galvanized coating is specified for use with treated lumber, so contractors working on projects with corrosion-resistance requirements do not need to source a separate product.
• Consistent Fit for Dimensional Lumber - With a width of 3-1/4 in. and a seat depth of 2-1/2 in., this hanger is sized to work with standard dimensional lumber framing, reducing the need for field modifications and keeping installations on schedule.
