The Simpson LGUM28-2-SDS LGUM High-Capacity Girder Hanger for Masonry for Double 2x8 with Screws/Anchors by Simpson is a heavy-duty face-mount girder hanger engineered specifically for concrete and grouted CMU wall applications. Built to carry double 2x8 lumber members, this high-capacity masonry connector arrives with all required fasteners already included - Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for attachment into the wood member and Titen HD anchors for secure fastening into the masonry surface - so structural crews can move straight to installation without sourcing additional hardware.

Key Features

• Attaches to concrete or grouted CMU walls using Titen HD anchors - purpose-built for masonry substrates, giving structural installers a reliable, code-conscious connection into the wall without improvised hardware.
• Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included for wood-side attachment - fasteners sized and specified for this hanger are in the box, eliminating guesswork and extra trips to the hardware store.
• Designed for interior or protected structural connections - Titen HD anchors are not recommended for exposed exterior applications, keeping the product in its engineered performance range and preventing misapplication in the field.
• Moisture barrier required between beam and wall per jurisdictional requirements - a clear installation guideline that helps contractors stay compliant with local building codes and protect the structural assembly long-term.
• Constructed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - heavier-gauge steel delivers the load capacity expected of a high-capacity girder hanger, while the G90 galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance for protected interior environments.
• Supports girder trusses, solid sawn lumber, and engineered wood products - broad material compatibility means this single hanger works across a variety of structural assemblies, reducing the need to source application-specific alternatives.

Why This Product

• Complete hardware kit in one package - both the Titen HD masonry anchors and Strong-Drive SDS screws are included, so the hanger, the masonry fasteners, and the wood-side connectors arrive together and are matched by the manufacturer for the application.
• Engineered specifically for masonry bearing walls - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, the LGUM series is designed from the ground up for concrete and grouted CMU substrates, giving structural builders a product that addresses the specific demands of masonry-to-wood connections.
• High-capacity rating for demanding structural loads - the combination of 12-gauge steel construction and a fastener system engineered for this hanger makes it well-suited for carrying the heavier loads associated with girder and beam applications rather than standard single-joist connections.
• Made in the United States by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson products are widely recognized across the construction industry, and domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality control on a hanger intended for load-bearing structural use.
