Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HUC38TF is a heavy-duty, hybrid joist hanger that combines the structural advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single, versatile connector. Engineered for nominal 3x8 lumber, this concealed top-flange hanger features two hidden flanges that tuck neatly into the framing member, delivering a cleaner installation profile ideal for end-of-wall or corner applications. The HUCTF's face-nailing method provides a secure, rigid connection to the header, while the concealed flanges eliminate exposed hardware for a finished appearance. Manufactured from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating, the HUC38TF delivers lasting corrosion resistance and dependable performance in structural framing applications. HUCTF-series hangers are fully tested, load rated, and code compliant, making the HUC38TF a reliable choice for demanding construction projects.
