Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HUC68TF 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 solution. Engineered specifically for nominal 6x8 lumber, this concealed top-flange hanger features two hidden flanges that keep connections clean and unobtrusive - making it ideal for end-of-wall or corner installations where aesthetics and structural performance both matter. Face-nailing capability ensures the hanger can be securely and rigidly attached to the supporting member. Fabricated from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, the HUC68TF delivers lasting corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Every HUCTF-series hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant, giving builders and engineers confidence on every project.
