The Simpson 8 x 14 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for framing applications that demand reliable load transfer and long-term holding power. Built to cradle large dimensional lumber members in residential and commercial construction, this face-mount hanger delivers the structural confidence that demanding framing projects require - from floor systems to heavy timber connections.

Key Features

• Face-mount design - installs directly against the header or beam face, enabling straightforward positioning and a secure, stable connection without complex hardware
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength necessary for structures carrying substantial loads and requiring elevated safety factors
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - creates a protective barrier against moisture and corrosion, helping the hanger maintain structural integrity over the long service life of the framing system
• Sized for 8 x 14 dimensional lumber - accommodates large framing members precisely, reducing the risk of misalignment and ensuring a snug, code-conscious fit
• Angled framing capability - select configurations allow for a skewable seat and slope adjustability up to 45 deg., giving builders flexibility where square connections are not possible
• Made in the United States - domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality standards and reliable material traceability for commercial and residential jobsites alike

Why This Product

• Built for large-scale framing demands - the combination of 14-gauge steel and generous sizing makes this hanger well suited for heavy timber and large dimensional lumber applications where undersized hardware is not an option
• Corrosion resistance built in from the start - the G90 zinc galvanized coating means builders are not relying on aftermarket treatments to protect a critical structural connection from moisture-related degradation
• Versatile enough for complex framing layouts - angled and sloped seat options mean this hanger can serve both standard square connections and irregular framing conditions on the same job
• Trusted Simpson engineering - Simpson has a long-standing reputation for producing structural connectors that meet the rigorous demands of professional framers and structural engineers

Frequently Asked Questions

What size lumber is the HU814 designed to support?

The HU814 is sized to accommodate an 8 x 14 dimensional lumber member, with an interior width of 7-1/2 inches and a height of 11-7/8 inches to cradle the joist securely.

What type of coating does the HU814 have, and why does it matter?

The HU814 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides a protective layer against corrosion and moisture, making it suitable for demanding structural environments where long-term durability is essential.

Can the HU814 be used in applications that require angled framing?

Yes. Some models of the HU series are available with a skewable seat and a seat that slopes up to 45 degrees, allowing for angled framing configurations where standard square connections are not possible.

What gauge steel is used in the HU814?

The HU814 is constructed from 14-gauge steel, providing the heavy-duty strength required for structures that demand additional load capacity and elevated safety factors.
