Product Description
The Simpson MUS28 2x8 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is an 18-gauge, zinc galvanized face-mount hanger engineered for medium-load truss and joist applications. Built by Simpson, this hanger is designed to deliver reliable load capacity and bearing strength while streamlining installation on the job site through its double-shear nailing design - making it a practical choice for residential and light commercial framing projects where a 2x8 member is required.
Key Features
- Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, giving you a stronger connection without adding complexity to the install
- Fewer nails required compared to single-shear designs - cuts down on fastener use and installation time, helping crews work faster without compromising connection integrity
- Compatible with all common nails for the same connection - no specialty fasteners needed, so you can use standard 10d common nails already on hand
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides a solid, durable hanger body suited to medium-load truss and joist framing demands
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers strong corrosion resistance to help the hanger hold up in typical construction environments over the long term
- Face-mount configuration - simplifies placement against the header or beam face, allowing straightforward alignment and faster positioning during framing
Why This Product
- Engineered for efficiency on the job site - the double-shear nailing design means fewer nails are needed to achieve a secure connection, reducing both material use and installation time for 2x8 framing applications
- No specialty fasteners required - compatibility with all common nails for the same connection keeps your workflow simple and eliminates the cost and hassle of sourcing unique hardware
- Trusted construction-grade protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers corrosion resistance that holds up in standard framing environments, supporting a longer service life for concealed structural connections
- Made in the United States by Simpson - backed by a brand recognized throughout the construction industry for structural connector quality, giving builders confidence in every connection

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the MUS28 designed to fit?
- The MUS28 is specifically designed to fit a 2x8 joist size, making it ideal for standard dimensional lumber framing and truss applications requiring that member size.
- What type of nails should be used to install the MUS28?
- The MUS28 should be installed with 10d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows the use of all common nails for the same connection, eliminating the need for specialty fasteners.
- What is double-shear nailing and why does it matter?
- Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater connection strength. This means fewer nails are required to achieve the same or better load capacity, which also speeds up installation time on the job site.
- What corrosion protection does the MUS28 hanger have?
- The MUS28 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides a strong level of corrosion resistance suitable for medium-load truss and joist applications in typical construction environments.
