The Simpson Double 2 x 10 Heavy Face-Mount Truss Hanger, Galvanized HTU210-2 from Simpson is a heavy-duty face-mount connector engineered for double 2x10 truss applications where shallow heel heights and reliable load transfer are critical. Its nail pattern is designed specifically for low-profile truss connections, delivering full allowable loads with minimum nailing at heel heights as low as 3 7/8" - making it a dependable choice for demanding structural truss work in residential and light commercial framing.

Key Features

• Nail pattern engineered for shallow heel heights - full allowable loads apply at heel heights as low as 3 7/8" with minimum nailing, so you can meet load requirements even in tight heel conditions without overdriving fasteners
• Minimum and maximum nailing options - provides solutions for varying heel heights and end conditions, giving installers flexibility to match the right fastening schedule to the specific job
• Alternate allowable loads for gaps up to 1/2 in. max. - accommodates real-world framing tolerances between the truss end and the carrying member, reducing the need for time-consuming corrections on site
• Skewable up to 67 1/2 deg. - adapts to angled framing layouts without special fabrication, expanding the range of truss configurations this single hanger can handle
• Compatible with multiple fastener types - accepts 16d common nails, 10d x 1 1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1 1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, fitting the tools and materials already on the job site
• Round-hole-only or round-and-triangle-hole installation - lets builders choose between a simplified install and a maximum-value install depending on load demands, without needing a different hanger
• G90 zinc galvanized coating on 16-gauge steel - provides corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber and outdoor-adjacent framing environments while maintaining the structural rigidity required for heavy truss loads

Why This Product

• Built specifically for double 2x10 truss members - unlike general-purpose hangers, the HTU210-2 is sized and engineered precisely for this lumber configuration, helping ensure a code-consistent connection without guesswork or modification
• Performs at shallow heel heights where other hangers fall short - the purpose-built nail pattern delivers full allowable loads at heel heights as low as 3 7/8", making it a practical solution for low-slope and energy-heel truss designs that are increasingly common in modern construction
• Flexible installation options reduce job site delays - with support for multiple fastener types and adjustable skew up to 67 1/2 deg., one hanger model covers a wide range of framing conditions, cutting down on the need to source specialty hardware for non-standard layouts
• American-made by Simpson with a galvanized finish for durability - produced domestically and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, the HTU210-2 is built to hold up in the conditions typical of structural framing applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What truss size is the HTU210-2 designed to support?

The HTU210-2 is designed specifically for double 2x10 truss members, providing a secure and code-compliant face-mount connection for that lumber size.

What is the minimum heel height at which this hanger delivers full allowable loads?

The HTU210-2 nail pattern is engineered to deliver full allowable loads with minimum nailing at heel heights as low as 3 7/8", making it well-suited for shallow heel truss applications.

What fasteners are required to install the HTU210-2?

The HTU210-2 is installed using 16d common nails and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. It can be installed filling round holes only, or filling both round and triangle holes for maximum load values.

What gap tolerance is allowed between the truss end and the carrying member?

Alternate allowable loads are provided for gaps of up to 1/2" maximum between the end of the truss and the carrying member, offering greater construction tolerances. The maximum gap for standard allowable loads is 1/8" per ASTM D7147.
