The Simpson 3 x 14 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty framing connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable structural support in demanding residential and commercial construction applications. Designed for face-mount installation onto carrying beams and headers, this hanger accommodates 3 x 14 lumber and is built to meet the strength and safety requirements of projects where standard-duty hardware is not sufficient.

Key Features

• Face-mount installation method - attaches directly to the face of a carrying beam or header, simplifying placement and alignment during framing without the need for special tools or complex procedures
• 14-gauge steel construction - classifies this as a heavy-duty hanger, providing the structural integrity needed for framing assemblies that require additional strength and safety factors beyond what lighter-gauge connectors offer
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - forms a durable corrosion-resistant barrier appropriate for use with treated lumber and a wide range of standard framing environments, helping protect the connector over the long term
• Skewable seat on select models - accommodates angled framing conditions, and the seat can slope up to 45 deg., giving framers flexibility when working with non-perpendicular joist layouts
• Domestically sourced product - manufactured to consistent quality standards, supporting projects where provenance and production oversight matter

Why This Product

• Built for demanding framing applications - the 14-gauge steel body and face-mount design work together to handle elevated loads, making this hanger a practical choice for structural bays where a standard joist hanger would fall short
• Corrosion resistance included from the start - the G90 zinc galvanized coating means no additional treatment is required before installation in environments where treated lumber or moisture exposure is a concern
• Versatile fit for non-standard framing layouts - the ability to skew the seat and slope it up to 45 deg. means this hanger can be adapted to angled or irregular framing conditions rather than requiring a separate specialty connector
• Trusted Simpson engineering - designed by Simpson, a brand recognized throughout the construction industry for structural connector performance, giving builders and inspectors confidence in the product's design intent and application suitability
