Product Description
The Simpson PF24 2x4 18-Gauge Galvanized Post Frame Hanger is a top-flange connector engineered by Simpson for common light-frame applications. Built from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this economical joist hanger features a patented double-shear nailing design that distributes the load through two points on each joist, delivering greater strength with fewer nails. Designed specifically for nominal 2x4 members, the PF24 combines reliable corrosion resistance with installation-friendly features that help framers work faster and more accurately.
Key Features
- Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist, so you get greater strength without driving extra nails
- Self-jigging design for automatic vertical alignment - the hanger positions itself correctly during install, reducing the need for manual adjustment and speeding up the workflow
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening - let you pin the connector in place before final attachment, making precise alignment straightforward even when working alone
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, durable connector suited for the structural demands of light-frame post frame applications
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance that helps the hanger hold up in exposed or moisture-prone framing environments
- Cannot be modified - ensures the connector performs exactly as engineered and tested, protecting the integrity of the connection
Why This Product
- Strength without extra hardware - the patented double-shear nailing design achieves greater load distribution through two shear points per joist, meaning you get a stronger connection using fewer nails than a conventional single-shear hanger
- Built for fast, accurate installation - the self-jigging design combined with diamond nail holes means the hanger aligns itself vertically and stays in place while you fasten it, cutting down on setup time and alignment errors on the job site
- Corrosion resistance for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating helps protect the steel in conditions where moisture or humidity could compromise an uncoated connector over time
- Economical choice for 2x4 post frame and light-frame work - purpose-built for nominal 2x4 members, this hanger gives post frame builders and light-frame contractors a cost-effective, code-friendly connection solution from a trusted structural connector brand
