Product Description
The Simpson 4 X 8 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger from Simpson that brings together the structural benefits of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs in a single galvanized connector sized for 4x8 dimensional lumber. By pairing an embossed top flange with double-shear nailing and face-nailing, it delivers high load capacity for demanding framing connections where standard hangers fall short.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - gives installers the connection flexibility of a face-mount hanger combined with the added strength of a top-flange bearing, reducing the need for separate hardware in complex framing assemblies.
- Embossed top flange - reinforces the hanger-to-header connection for a more secure bearing point, helping maintain structural integrity under heavy or repeated loads.
- Double-shear nailing combined with face-nailing - each joist nail engages two shear planes, distributing load more effectively and supporting high-load framing requirements that single-shear hangers cannot match.
- Compatible with 3x carrying members - accommodates a specific fastener combination for 3x headers, giving framers a verified, code-consistent option when working with heavier carrying members.
- 14-gauge zinc galvanized construction with G99 coating - provides corrosion resistance suited to treated lumber environments, helping the hanger maintain performance over the life of the structure.
- Not field-modifiable and not acceptable for nailer or welded applications - ensures the connection is installed exactly as tested and code-evaluated, protecting the integrity of the load path.
Why This Product
- One hanger replaces two designs - the hybrid face-mount and top-mount configuration handles connection scenarios that would otherwise require choosing between two different hanger types, simplifying procurement and installation on the job site.
- High-load performance through double-shear nailing - the combined double-shear and face-nailing system makes this hanger a strong fit for framing applications where load demands exceed what a conventional joist hanger can support.
- Tested and code-compliant for standard framing applications - the HUSTF series is evaluated to meet code requirements, giving builders and inspectors confidence that the connection performs as specified without field guesswork.
- Domestic-made with a durable galvanized finish - the G99 zinc galvanized coating and domestic production reflect a consistent standard of material quality, making this hanger a reliable choice for projects where long-term corrosion resistance matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size fasteners are required for installing the HUS48TF?
The HUS48TF requires 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails. When used with 3x carrying members, use 0.162" x 2-1/2" nails in the header and 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails in the joist. Always use all specified fasteners for a code-compliant installation.
What makes the HUS48TF a hybrid hanger?
The HUS48TF is considered a hybrid hanger because it combines the features of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs. It uses an embossed top flange for added connection strength along with face-nailing and double-shear nailing to achieve high load capacity.
Can the HUS48TF be used in nailer or welded applications?
No. The HUS48TF is not acceptable for nailer or welded applications. It is also not field-modifiable, so it must be installed exactly as specified without any alterations.
Is the HUS48TF tested and code compliant?
Yes. HUSTF-series hangers, including the HUS48TF, are tested, load rated, and code compliant, making them suitable for use in construction projects that require verified structural performance.
