The Simpson HGUS210-3 Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x10 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications where higher load values are needed. Designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection for triple 2x10 members. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating, the HGUS210-3 is a dependable choice for demanding framing connections where both strength and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving each connection greater strength without adding hardware or complexity
• Fewer nails required with standard 16d common nails - simplifies your fastener inventory and speeds up installation without sacrificing load capacity
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed to handle heavier girder-level loads across triple 2x10 framing members
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well suited for moisture-prone environments and outdoor framing applications
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the tabs as manufactured ensures the connection performs as engineered and maintains rated load values
• Designed specifically for nominal triple 2x10 members - the precise fit eliminates guesswork and keeps framing assemblies properly aligned during installation

Why This Product

• Built for high-load framing applications - the HGUS hanger series is specifically designed for connections where standard hangers fall short, making this the right choice when girder-level or multi-ply joist support is required
• Faster installation without compromising strength - the double-shear nailing system allows fewer nails to carry more load, reducing installation time while maintaining a structurally sound connection
• Long-term durability in tough conditions - the G90 galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance, so the hanger holds up reliably in the kind of moisture-exposed environments where structural connectors are most at risk
• Straightforward compatibility - uses standard 16d common nails that are easy to source, so installers can complete the job without hunting down specialty fasteners

Frequently Asked Questions

What size member is the HGUS210-3 designed to support?

The HGUS210-3 is specifically designed for a nominal joist size of Triple 2x10, making it ideal for applications that require girder-level support with higher load capacity.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS210-3?

The HGUS210-3 should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer standard nails while still achieving greater strength.

What does double-shear nailing mean and why does it matter?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, significantly increasing the strength and load-carrying capacity of the connection without requiring additional hardware.

Is the HGUS210-3 suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments?

The HGUS210-3 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating that provides extra corrosion resistance, making it well suited for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
