The Simpson 3 x 4 Face-Mount Joist Hanger from Simpson is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for framing applications that demand greater load-carrying capacity and dependable performance. Designed as a face-mount hanger, it secures dimensional lumber connections at the beam or header face, making it a reliable choice for residential and light commercial framing projects where standard-gauge connectors may not meet structural requirements.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty face-mount design - connects joists directly at the face of a beam or header, providing a secure, load-bearing attachment point for demanding structural framing layouts
• 14-gauge steel construction - thicker than standard hanger gauges, this heavier build supports greater loads and delivers the additional strength and safety factors required in high-demand framing situations
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a robust layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments over the long term
• Skewable seat configurations available - the seat can slope up to 45 deg., giving contractors and builders flexibility to accommodate angled or non-standard framing connections without special fabrication

Why This Product

• Built for structural demands standard hangers cannot meet - the 14-gauge steel construction is specifically engineered for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a dependable upgrade over lighter-gauge joist connectors
• Versatile for complex framing layouts - skewable seat options allow the hanger to adapt to angled lumber placement up to 45 deg., reducing the need for custom solutions on non-standard framing jobs
• Corrosion resistance you can count on long-term - the G90 zinc galvanized coating protects the steel in environments where moisture is a regular concern, supporting a longer service life in the structure
• Trusted brand with domestic production - engineered and produced under the quality standards that have made Simpson a widely recognized name in structural connectors, this hanger is built in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HU34 a heavy-duty joist hanger?

The HU34 is constructed from 14-gauge steel, which is thicker and stronger than standard joist hanger gauges. This heavier gauge construction allows it to support greater loads and is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors.

What type of corrosion protection does the HU34 have?

The HU34 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides a robust layer of corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Can the HU34 be used for angled or skewed framing connections?

Yes. Some models in the HU series can be configured with a skewable seat, and the seat can slope up to 45 degrees, providing flexibility for non-standard framing angles and layouts.

Where is the HU34 manufactured?

The HU34 is manufactured in the United States.
