The Simpson PFDS24B Double 2x4 Galvanized Post Frame Double Saddle Hanger is a top-flange saddle hanger from Simpson engineered specifically for post-frame construction applications requiring double 2x4 joist support. Its solid, one-piece top flange allows for accurate and fast installation, while a folded seat raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius to enable a tighter connection to the back of the hanger. Dome-shaped joist nail holes guide nails into the proper installation angle automatically, taking the guesswork out of fastening and helping ensure a structurally sound connection every time.

Key Features

• Installation prongs for quick hanger placement - prongs hold the hanger in position during setup, reducing fumbling and speeding up the installation process on the job site.
• Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist, delivering greater structural strength with fewer nails so you use fewer fasteners without sacrificing performance.
• Dome-shaped joist nail holes - guide nails into the proper installation angle automatically, helping ensure consistent, correctly angled fastening without extra measuring or adjustment.
• Folded seat design - raises the 2x joist slightly above the seat radius to enable a tighter connection to the back of the hanger, improving overall connection integrity.
• Solid, one-piece top flange - provides a stable, accurate bearing surface that makes positioning and securing the hanger fast and reliable in post-frame framing situations.
• Made from 20-gauge steel with G90 zinc galvanized coating - the galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well suited for post-frame environments where moisture exposure is a routine concern.
• Designed for double 2x4 nominal joist size - purpose-built geometry means the hanger fits the intended member correctly, eliminating the fit issues that come with using a non-dedicated connector.

Why This Product

• Fewer nails, stronger connection - the patented double-shear nailing design loads two shear points per joist, so builders achieve a high-strength post-frame connection without overdriving fasteners or adding unnecessary hardware.
• Built-in guidance for faster, more consistent installs - between the installation prongs that hold the hanger in place and the dome-shaped nail holes that direct fasteners to the correct angle, this hanger minimizes installation error and keeps framing crews moving efficiently.
• Corrosion resistance matched to post-frame environments - the G90 zinc galvanized coating is specifically suited to the moisture and weather exposure common in agricultural, commercial, and rural post-frame structures, helping the connection maintain its integrity over time.
• Purpose-engineered double 2x4 saddle hanger from a trusted structural connector brand - the PFDS24B is designed from the ground up for double 2x support in post-frame construction, giving contractors and builders a connector sized and rated for the exact application rather than a generic alternative.
