The Simpson 4 x 11-7/8 to 16 Face-Mount Joist Hanger from Simpson is a heavy-duty connector engineered to support large-dimension lumber in demanding structural framing applications. Designed as a face-mount hanger, it attaches directly to the face of a header or beam, allowing the carried member to sit flush with the supporting structure - making it a dependable choice for contractors and builders working on residential, commercial, or load-critical framing projects.

Key Features

• Face-mount design - attaches directly to the face of a header or beam, enabling flush installation and a clean, structurally sound connection between framing members
• Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed for applications that demand additional load capacity and elevated safety factors
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers durable corrosion resistance suited for exposed framing environments and use alongside pressure-treated lumber, helping protect the connection over the long term
• Wide joist size compatibility ranging from 11-7/8 to 16 - accommodates large-dimension lumber, giving builders flexibility across a variety of heavy framing scenarios without sourcing multiple hanger sizes
• Skewable seat option available - supports seat slope capability of up to 45 deg., allowing the hanger to accommodate angled framing conditions where a standard square connection is not practical

Why This Product

• Built for heavy loads - the 14-gauge steel construction is specifically suited for structural applications that go beyond standard framing demands, giving builders confidence in high-stress connections
• Broad joist size range in a single hanger - compatibility with lumber from 11-7/8 to 16 reduces the need for multiple connector sizes on a job site, simplifying procurement and installation planning
• Corrosion-resistant finish for real-world conditions - the Zinc Galvanized G90 coating means this hanger holds up in exposed or treated-lumber environments where uncoated connectors would degrade over time
• Made by Simpson - a brand with a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, the HU series face-mount hanger reflects engineering standards that professionals rely on for code-compliant framing work
