The Simpson HUCQ610SS-SDS Heavy Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger for 6x10 Lumber is engineered by Simpson for structures requiring additional strength and elevated safety factors. This heavy-duty face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges that keep connections clean and unobtrusive in exposed framing conditions, and its design allows installation close to the end of the supporting beam. Built from 14-gauge stainless steel for high and severe corrosion resistance, this hanger supports wood joist connections to wood, masonry, and concrete - and comes complete with included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that deliver high load capacity with no predrilling required.

Key Features

• Concealed flanges provide cleaner lines for exposed conditions - header flanges stay hidden from view, making this hanger a practical choice wherever framing remains visible in the finished structure.
• HUCQ-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets established performance and safety standards.
• Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included - the fasteners needed for a complete, high-capacity installation ship with the hanger, so there is no need to source hardware separately.
• No predrilling required - the included SDS screws drive directly into lumber, reducing installation time and simplifying the process on the jobsite.
• Installs wood joists to wood, masonry and concrete - broad substrate compatibility makes this hanger suitable for a wide range of structural framing applications.
• Made from 14-gauge stainless steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the structural rigidity demanded by high-load connections in both residential and commercial framing.
• Stainless steel finish for high and severe corrosion resistance - suitable for demanding environments where standard steel hardware would be vulnerable to corrosion over time.

Why This Product

• Built for heavy-duty structural demand - designed specifically for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, this face-mount hanger provides reliable load transfer for 6x10 lumber connections where performance cannot be compromised.
• Stainless steel construction for long-term durability - the Type 316 stainless-steel fasteners and stainless-steel hanger body work together to resist high and severe corrosion, making this a dependable choice for outdoor, coastal, or moisture-exposed framing applications.
• Cleaner aesthetics without sacrificing strength - the concealed-flange design hides the header connection from view, allowing contractors to meet both structural and visual requirements in exposed framing projects without needing a separate finish solution.
• Everything included for a complete installation - eighteen Type 316 stainless-steel Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are packaged with the hanger, and no predrilling is needed, so the connection can be made efficiently right out of the box.
