The Simpson HU3514 HU Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for use with 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. engineered wood members in applications requiring additional strength and safety factors. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this face-mount hanger is the choice of engineers and contractors who demand consistent, code-compliant performance in demanding framing applications.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets installers position the hanger more freely along the header, saving time and reducing the risk of misalignment during framing
• Sized for an actual joist of 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. - precision-fit for engineered wood members of that exact dimension, ensuring a secure, flush connection without shimming or modification
• Manufactured from 14-gauge steel - provides the heavy-duty structural capacity needed for load-bearing applications where standard hangers may fall short
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in moisture-prone or treated-lumber environments over the long term

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for demanding structural work - the HU series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a dependable choice when standard joist hangers are not sufficient for the load or code requirements
• Engineered and tested for reliable performance - Simpson connectors are engineered and tested to perform and manufactured to the highest quality standards, giving builders confidence that the connection will meet structural expectations on every installation
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides a meaningful layer of protection against corrosion, making this hanger a sound long-term investment in structural integrity
• Installer-friendly "U" design reduces placement guesswork - the open "U" profile gives framers flexibility when setting the hanger on the header, streamlining the installation process and supporting accurate, consistent results across a job
