Product Description
The Simpson HF36NZ HFN ZMAX Galvanized High-Capacity Panelized Construction Hanger for 3x6 by Simpson is modeled after the first hangers created by Simpson Strong-Tie, giving the HFN series a proven track record of dependability that panelized roofing contractors have relied on for years. Engineered specifically for the panelized industry that uses jigs or similar devices for precision fabrication, this top-flange hanger is built to support expedited installation workflows - making it the most cost-effective top-flange hanger for panelized roof construction. ZMAX galvanization delivers extra corrosion resistance, keeping the hanger well suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where long-term durability matters.
Key Features
- Compression dimples lock the joist in place - eliminates the need for joist nails and significantly speeds up installation, reducing labor time on the roof deck
- Designed to allow panels to drop easily into place - streamlines the panelized assembly process and keeps prefabricated panel workflows moving efficiently
- Purpose-built for panelized roof construction only - ensures the hanger performs as intended within the specialized jig-based fabrication environment it was designed for
- Made from 18-gauge steel - provides the structural integrity needed to handle high-capacity panelized roofing loads
- ZMAX galvanization - offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, extending the service life of the connection in demanding environments
- Installs with 0.148 in. x 2-1/8 in. nails or 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails into the header - clear fastener requirements simplify job-site prep and keep installation straightforward
Why This Product
- Rooted in Simpson Strong-Tie's original hanger design - the HFN series traces back to the first hangers Simpson ever created, bringing decades of real-world dependability to every panelized roofing project
- The most cost-effective top-flange hanger for panelized construction - compression dimple technology and a drop-in panel design cut installation time, directly reducing labor costs on large-scale roofing jobs
- ZMAX coating for long-term protection - the ZMAX galvanization is specifically recommended for exterior and treated-wood applications, making this hanger a reliable choice where standard coatings may fall short
- Precision-compatible with jig-based fabrication - designed to work within the tight tolerances of panelized manufacturing environments, supporting accurate, repeatable results across high-volume roof panel production

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of construction is the HF36NZ designed for?
The HF36NZ is designed specifically for panelized roof construction only. It is intended for use in the panelized industry that uses jigs or similar devices for precision fabrication. All F and HFN hangers are restricted to panelized roof construction applications.
What fasteners are required to install the HF36NZ?
The HF36NZ installs with 0.148 in. x 2-1/8 in. nails or 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails into the header.
What makes the HF36NZ faster to install than traditional joist hangers?
The HF36NZ features compression dimples that, instead of joist nails, lock the joist in place. This design speeds up installation significantly. Additionally, the hanger is designed to allow panels to drop easily into place, further reducing installation time.
Is the HF36NZ suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?
Yes. The HF36NZ features ZMAX galvanization, which offers extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior and treated-wood applications.
