The Simpson Heavy Face-Mount Joist Hanger, Galvanized HU5.125/13.5 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for demanding framing applications where a reliable, high-strength connection is essential. Designed as a face-mount hanger, it attaches directly to the face of a supporting header or beam, making it a dependable choice for heavy timber framing, engineered lumber installations, and other structural assemblies that call for a wider bearing seat and robust load-carrying performance.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty face-mount design - attaches directly to the face of the header or beam, simplifying installation while maintaining a strong, secure structural connection in a variety of framing layouts
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers superior load capacity compared to lighter-gauge hangers, making this connector well-suited for critical structural connections involving heavy timber and engineered lumber
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides a robust level of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain structural integrity across a wide range of construction environments over the long term
• Sized for 5-1/4 in. wide framing members - accommodates wider lumber and engineered lumber profiles that standard hangers cannot support, keeping your framing plan on track without compromise
• Optional skewable seat configurations - certain versions can be configured with a seat that accommodates slopes as far as up to 45 deg., allowing this hanger to work in non-standard or angled framing scenarios

Why This Product

• Built for heavy structural loads - the combination of 14-gauge steel and a heavy-duty face-mount profile means this hanger is purpose-built for applications where standard hangers fall short, giving builders confidence in connections that carry serious weight
• Corrosion protection you can count on - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic rust protection, making this connector a practical choice for projects in environments where long-term durability is a priority
• Engineered for wider framing members - designed specifically to support 5-1/4 in. wide members, this hanger is a natural fit for heavy timber construction and engineered lumber systems that require a properly sized, load-rated connection
• Trusted Simpson quality, made in the United States - produced domestically by Simpson, a name widely recognized in structural connectors, this hanger reflects consistent manufacturing standards that contractors and builders rely on for code-compliant framing work
