Product Description
The Simpson LUS28-3 Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x8 from Simpson is an economical, easy-to-install connector engineered specifically for three-ply 2x8 lumber assemblies. Designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection wherever triple-member framing is required. Its patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving you greater strength while reducing the total number of fasteners needed - making it a practical choice for floor framing, deck construction, and structural wood connections.
Key Features
- Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater connection strength while allowing fewer nails and faster installation
- Compatible with all common nails - eliminates the need for specialty fasteners, simplifying your job-site workflow without sacrificing connection performance
- Speed prongs - hold the hanger in position during installation so you can align and fasten quickly without a second set of hands
- Angled joist nail holes - make driving fasteners easier in tight or confined framing spaces where a straight-on swing is difficult
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments over the long term
- 18-gauge steel construction - offers a reliable strength-to-weight ratio appropriate for triple 2x8 face-mount applications in residential and light commercial framing
- Fixed tabs (do not bend or remove) - tabs are integral to the hanger's structural performance, ensuring the connection meets rated load values as designed
Why This Product
- Engineered for triple-ply lumber - purpose-built for nominal triple 2x8 members, this hanger eliminates guesswork when specifying connectors for multi-ply beam and joist assemblies in structural framing
- Double-shear nailing reduces labor without reducing strength - the patented design means each nail works harder, so you drive fewer fasteners while still achieving a strong, code-conscious connection
- Built-in installation advantages - speed prongs and angled nail holes work together to cut installation time in demanding framing layouts, including locations where access to the joist pocket is restricted
- G90 galvanized protection for lasting performance - the zinc galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, making this hanger a sound choice for framing projects where moisture exposure is a real-world concern
