The Simpson HU4.28/9 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector engineered for structural framing connections that demand additional strength and enhanced safety performance. Sized at 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 and built from 14-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this hanger is purpose-built for load-critical installations in both residential and commercial construction. Whether you are working with heavy timber, engineered lumber, or complex framing geometries, the HU4.28/9 delivers the structural reliability that demanding projects require.

Key Features

• 14-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides heavy-duty load capacity suited for structural applications where standard hangers may not meet project requirements, giving builders confidence in safety-critical connections.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 Coating - Delivers a high level of corrosion resistance, making this hanger dependable in demanding environmental conditions and compatible with treated lumber.
• Face-Mount Design - Attaches directly to the face of the carrying member, simplifying installation and keeping framing connections straightforward on the job site.
• Configurable Seat Options - Available with a skewable seat and slope capability up to 45 deg., allowing this hanger to adapt to angled and sloped joist configurations that standard fixed hangers cannot accommodate.
• Broad Application Range - Approved for residential and commercial structural framing, heavy timber, and engineered lumber installations, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of project types.

Why This Product

• Built for Load-Critical Framing - The 14-gauge steel construction is specifically engineered for connections requiring additional strength and safety factors, reducing the risk of relying on an undersized connector in high-demand structural situations.
• Handles Complex Framing Conditions - With configurable skew and slope capability up to 45 deg., this hanger solves angled and sloped installation challenges that would otherwise require custom fabrication or compromise structural integrity.
• Corrosion Resistance You Can Rely On - The Zinc Galvanized G90 coating is suited for use with treated lumber and in environments where lesser coatings would degrade prematurely, supporting the long-term performance of the framed assembly.
• Domestic Quality for Professional Standards - Produced in the United States, the HU4.28/9 meets the quality expectations of contractors and engineers working on projects where material sourcing and consistency matter.
