The Simpson HUA24 Heavy-Duty U-Shaped Architectural Joist Hanger is a load-rated structural connector built from 7-gauge painted steel with a black paint finish, engineered specifically for joining engineered wood members in heavy structural assemblies. Designed for applications where both structural performance and finished appearance matter, this heavy-duty hanger delivers reliable load capacity in interior load-rated joist and beam connections as well as decorative and exposed architectural framing. Strong-Drive 1/4" x 3" SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included, and additional round face-nail holes help achieve maximum load capacity without requiring separate fastener sourcing.

Key Features

• 7-gauge painted steel construction - provides heavy-duty strength suited for demanding structural load applications, reducing concerns about connector deflection or inadequate capacity in high-stress assemblies
• Black paint finish as standard - gives the hanger a clean, finished look appropriate for exposed and architectural framing settings where visible hardware must meet aesthetic standards
• U-shaped architectural profile - cradles engineered wood members securely and evenly, supporting proper load transfer in interior joist and beam connections
• Includes Strong-Drive 1/4" x 3" SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - eliminates the need to source compatible fasteners separately, ensuring the correct hardware is on hand for a code-consistent installation
• Additional round face-nail holes - allow installers to maximize load capacity where project conditions require it, adding flexibility to meet engineering specifications
• Available in black powder coat and hot-dip galvanized finishes - makes this connector adaptable for decorative interior applications or exterior structural framing depending on project requirements

Why This Product

• Engineered for exposed structural settings - the black paint finish and architectural U-shaped design make this heavy-duty joist hanger a practical choice when visible connectors need to complement the finished appearance of a space, not detract from it
• Purpose-built for engineered wood members - rather than a general-purpose hanger, this connector is specifically designed for heavy structural assemblies using engineered lumber, so builders get a load-rated solution matched to the material
• Fasteners included from the start - because the required Strong-Drive 1/4" x 3" SDS screws come with the hanger, there is no guesswork about fastener compatibility and no separate trip to source hardware before installation can begin
• Finish options for interior and exterior use - with black paint, black powder coat, and hot-dip galvanized finishes available, this architectural joist hanger can be specified across a range of project types without switching to a different product line
