The Simpson APLH1.75-6 Concealed-Flange Light Joist Hanger is part of the Simpson Strong-Tie Outdoor Accents decorative hardware line, engineered to deliver both structural reliability and refined aesthetics for custom outdoor living structures. Designed specifically for rough 1-3/4 in. x 6 cedar joists, this light hanger connects joists to beams while keeping the installation visually clean - making it a practical choice for decks, pergolas, and other exterior framing projects where appearance matters as much as performance. The ZMAX galvanized finish combined with a black powder coat adds a layer of corrosion resistance suited for exterior and treated-wood applications, while the bold black color ties seamlessly into premium outdoor builds.

Key Features

• Concealed-flange design with straight edges - hides mounting flanges from view for a cleaner, more finished look on visible joist connections in outdoor living structures
• Sized for rough 1-3/4 in. x 6 cedar joists - purpose-built fit eliminates guesswork and ensures a secure, properly seated connection without modification
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity expected from a load-bearing joist connector in residential outdoor framing
• ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance for exterior environments and treated-wood applications where standard coatings fall short
• Compatible with Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection - coordinates with other decorative hardware in these lines for a cohesive, design-forward outdoor structure
• Installs with (10) #10 x 1-1/2 in. Outdoor Accents Connector screws (Model: SD10112DBB, sold separately) - straightforward fastener specification means no searching for compatible hardware at the jobsite

Why This Product

• Form and function in one connector - the concealed-flange design and black powder coat finish make this hanger a structural component that also enhances the visual quality of exposed outdoor framing, rather than detracting from it
• Built for the demands of exterior and treated-wood framing - ZMAX galvanization paired with a black powder coat goes beyond standard galvanized coatings, addressing the corrosion challenges that come with outdoor exposure and contact with treated lumber
• Designed to integrate with a curated hardware system - compatibility with both the Mission Collection and Avant Collection means builders can maintain a consistent aesthetic across connectors, fasteners, and decorative elements throughout the entire project
• Straightforward installation with a defined fastener spec - a clear fastener requirement (Outdoor Accents Connector screws, Model SD10112DBB) reduces ambiguity during installation and keeps the project on schedule
