The Simpson Quadruple 2 x 8 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger HUC28-4 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered to carry quadruple 2x8 lumber in multi-ply joist and beam assemblies where concentrated loads must be transferred reliably to a supporting header or beam. Its concealed-flange design addresses both structural performance and visual finish, making it a practical choice for exposed framing conditions where clean, unobtrusive hardware lines are just as important as load-carrying capability.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep metal hardware hidden from view once installed, delivering cleaner, more finished visible lines in exposed structural applications where appearance matters
• Heavy face-mount configuration - engineered for structures requiring additional strength and higher safety factors compared to standard joist hangers, giving builders greater confidence in demanding assemblies
• Quadruple 2x8 lumber capacity - purpose-built for multi-ply framing scenarios where concentrated loads require a connector rated specifically for the combined member size
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the robust load-bearing performance expected from a heavy-duty connector, suited for both residential and commercial structural applications
• Galvanized finish - offers a layer of corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in typical interior framing environments over the long term

Why This Product

• Purpose-designed for quadruple 2x8 assemblies - rather than adapting a smaller hanger to a multi-ply situation, this connector is built from the ground up to handle the specific demands of four-ply 2x8 lumber, reducing improvisation and supporting a more reliable connection
• Aesthetics built into the engineering - the concealed-flange design is not an afterthought; it allows contractors working on exposed framing to meet both structural requirements and finish quality expectations without separate hardware or cover treatments
• Heavy-duty classification for higher safety margins - the combination of 14-gauge steel and a heavy face-mount design means this hanger is suited for projects where standard connectors do not provide the additional strength or safety factors the structure demands
• Made in the United States - domestic production supports consistent quality standards and traceability, which can matter for projects with specific sourcing or compliance requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size does the HUC28-4 support?

The HUC28-4 is designed to support quadruple 2x8 lumber, making it suited for multi-ply joist and beam assemblies where concentrated loads must be transferred to a supporting header or beam.

Why does the HUC28-4 have concealed header flanges?

The concealed header flanges are specifically designed to keep metal hardware hidden from view once installed. This provides cleaner, more finished visible lines, which is especially desirable in exposed framing applications where aesthetics are a consideration.

What gauge steel is used in the HUC28-4?

The HUC28-4 is fabricated from 14-gauge (68 mil) steel, classifying it as a heavy-duty connector intended for structures requiring additional strength and higher safety factors compared to standard joist hangers.
