The Simpson HGUS210-4 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Quad 2x10 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered 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 quad 2x10 lumber assemblies. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is a dependable choice for demanding structural framing work where both strength and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing technology - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving the connection greater strength compared to single-shear designs and adding confidence in high-load framing applications.
• Fewer nails required, standard nails accepted - simplifies procurement and speeds up installation, meaning crews spend less time sourcing specialty hardware and more time getting the job done.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for quad 2x10 assemblies and applications where higher load values are the priority.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance to help the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments over the long term.
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the tabs as designed keeps the hanger performing at its rated capacity, protecting the structural integrity of the connection.
• Installs with 16d common nails - compatible with widely available, standard fasteners so no specialty nails are needed for a code-compliant installation.

Why This Product

• Engineered for higher load demands - the HGUS series is specifically designed for applications where standard hangers fall short, making this connector a practical upgrade when quad 2x10 assemblies carry heavier loads.
• Faster installation without sacrificing strength - double-shear nailing allows fewer nails per connection while maintaining superior load distribution, helping contractors work more efficiently on large framing projects.
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating means this hanger is suited for use in environments where moisture exposure is a real concern, reducing the risk of long-term degradation at the connection point.
• Trusted Simpson Strong-Tie engineering - part of a broad line of face-mount joist hangers designed to handle a wide range of structural applications, this connector reflects the same design discipline applied across the full Simpson Strong-Tie hanger family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS210-4?

The HGUS210-4 should be installed with 16d common nails for all connections.

What makes the double-shear nailing on the HGUS210-4 beneficial?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, which provides greater strength compared to single-shear connections. It also allows for the use of fewer nails and faster installation while still using standard nails.

What is the corrosion resistance level of the HGUS210-4?

The HGUS210-4 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.

Is it acceptable to bend or remove the tabs on the HGUS210-4?

No. The tabs on the HGUS210-4 must not be bent or removed. Altering the tabs can compromise the structural integrity and load performance of the hanger.
