The Simpson HUC210-2SS HUC Stainless-Steel Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2x10 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications demanding additional strength and safety factors. This face-mount hanger connects double 2x10 wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete headers, while its concealed header flanges deliver cleaner, more finished visible lines in exposed framing conditions. Built from 14-gauge stainless steel, the HUC210-2SS is purpose-built to hold up in high-corrosion and severe-corrosion environments where standard steel connectors would be vulnerable to deterioration.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep visible lines clean and uncluttered in exposed structural conditions, making this hanger well-suited for finish-sensitive installations
• 14-gauge stainless-steel construction - provides the material thickness and corrosion resistance needed for demanding environments, including coastal, high-humidity, and chemically treated lumber applications
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow additional fastener placement for increased load capacity when project requirements call for it
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connector meets established structural standards without additional verification
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - offers flexibility across a wide range of structural framing scenarios without requiring a different connector for each substrate
• 3-1/8 in. seat width sized for double 2x10 members - ensures proper cradle fit and load transfer for doubled joist assemblies, eliminating guesswork at the jobsite

Why This Product

• Built for high-stakes structural connections - the HUC series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a reliable choice where standard hangers fall short of project demands
• Stainless steel where it counts most - full stainless-steel construction, combined with the requirement for stainless-steel fasteners, creates a corrosion-resistant assembly from header to joist, protecting the connection over the long term in severe environments
• Cleaner results in exposed framing - the concealed-flange design hides the header attachment hardware from view, delivering a more professional appearance in visible ceiling and deck framing applications without sacrificing structural performance
• Versatile installation across multiple header materials - whether attaching to wood, masonry, or concrete, this hanger handles the connection without requiring a separate product, simplifying procurement and jobsite logistics

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist is the HUC210-2SS designed to support?

The HUC210-2SS is specifically designed for a nominal joist size of Double 2x10, with a seat width of 3-1/8 in. to properly cradle and support the doubled member.

Why is stainless steel used for this hanger?

The stainless-steel construction provides high and severe corrosion resistance, making the HUC210-2SS suitable for environments where standard steel connectors would be prone to deterioration, such as coastal, high-humidity, or chemically treated lumber applications.

What fasteners are required to install the HUC210-2SS?

Installation requires (14-18) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (6-10) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the joist. Stainless-steel fasteners are required to maintain the corrosion-resistance integrity of the connection.

What do the optional triangle holes on the HUC210-2SS provide?

The extra optional triangle holes allow for additional fasteners to be added to the connection, providing the opportunity to increase the load capacity of the hanger when the project demands it.
