The Simpson 8 x 16 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson, engineered specifically for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Built for contractors and engineers tackling large-scale residential and commercial projects, this face-mount hanger provides a reliable, tested connection for nominal 8x16 lumber - delivering the performance that structural professionals depend on when framing with oversized members.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - makes it easier to position and adjust the hanger during installation, reducing layout time on the job site
• Designed for nominal 8x16 joist size - purpose-built for heavy structural members, ensuring a secure, properly fitted connection without modification
• Manufactured from 14-gauge steel - provides the rigidity and load-bearing capacity required in demanding structural applications where a lighter connector would fall short
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments and extending the service life of the connection

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for demanding framing jobs - the combination of 14-gauge steel and a face-mount design makes this hanger well-suited for structures where standard hangers are not rated for the load or member size required
• Engineered and tested for structural confidence - Simpson connectors are built to engineering and quality standards trusted by contractors and structural engineers, so this hanger is not a guess - it is a proven solution for heavy joist connections
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends long-term durability - the G90 galvanized coating means the hanger resists rust and degradation, making it a practical choice for framing in areas with humidity or incidental moisture exposure
• Flexible header placement simplifies installation - the "U" design gives installers room to work, reducing the need for precise pre-positioning and helping crews work more efficiently on large framing projects
