Product Description
The Simpson APLH24 Outdoor Accents APLH ZMAX Black Light Joist Hanger for 2x4 is a concealed-flange connector engineered by Simpson to join 2x4 joists to beams in custom outdoor living structures where both structural performance and clean aesthetics matter. Built from 14-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized and black powder coat finish, this light hanger is purpose-built for exterior framing and treated-wood applications, and it integrates seamlessly with the Outdoor Accents decorative hardware line for a cohesive, finished look throughout your project.
Key Features
- Concealed-flange design with straight edges - keeps flanges hidden and eliminates visible protrusions, delivering a cleaner, more refined appearance at every joist connection
- ZMAX galvanization with black powder coat finish - provides extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior environments and pressure-treated lumber, so the hanger holds up against moisture and the elements over time
- 14-gauge steel construction - offers a solid, dependable build that meets the structural demands of deck, pergola, and outdoor living framing projects
- Designed for nominal 2x4 joists - sized precisely for standard 2x4 framing lumber so the fit is accurate and installation stays straightforward
- Compatible with the Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection - allows the hanger to coordinate with matching decorative hardware throughout the structure for a unified design (fasteners sold separately)
- Installs with Outdoor Accents Connector screws (Model: SD10112DBB, sold separately) - fasteners are matched to the hanger and the decorative line, so every visible fastener point stays consistent with the overall look
Why This Product
- Form and function in one connector - the concealed-flange design means you don't have to choose between a structurally sound joist connection and a polished, finished appearance on your outdoor structure
- Built for the outdoors from the ground up - the combination of ZMAX galvanization and black powder coat goes beyond standard interior-grade corrosion protection, making this hanger a reliable long-term choice for exposed exterior framing and treated-wood applications
- Part of a coordinated decorative hardware system - because the APLH24 complements both the Outdoor Accents Mission Collection and Avant Collection, builders and DIYers can achieve a consistent, design-forward look across connectors, fasteners, and post caps without mismatched finishes
- Straightforward installation with the right fastener match - the hanger is designed to install with a specific Outdoor Accents Connector screw, removing guesswork from fastener selection and keeping the installation process efficient and accurate
