The Simpson HGUS26 5-3/8 in. Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger by Simpson is built for structural applications where higher load values are required. Engineered to provide firm support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this face-mount hanger creates a strong, reliable connection between framing members. Its heavy-duty 12-gauge steel construction and double-shear nailing design make it a go-to choice for demanding residential and commercial framing projects involving 2x6 members.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength and making this hanger well-suited for high-load framing connections
• Fewer nails required - the double-shear design allows for faster installation using standard nails for all connections, reducing both labor time and material costs on the job site
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty backbone needed for applications where higher load values are essential, without overbuilding for typical light-duty tasks
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance, helping this joist hanger hold up reliably in demanding construction environments over the long term
• Nominal 2x6 member size - purpose-built to fit 2x6 joists and truss members precisely, ensuring a secure, properly seated connection every time
• Do not bend or remove tabs - maintaining the factory-formed tabs preserves the hanger's engineered load capacity and ensures the connection performs as designed

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-load demands - the HGUS hanger series is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are needed, making this a smarter choice than a standard joist hanger when structural loads are a priority
• Faster, simpler installation - double-shear nailing allows fewer nails and permits the use of standard 16d common nails throughout, cutting installation time without sacrificing connection strength
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized finish provides a meaningful layer of defense against moisture and corrosion, extending the service life of the connection in tough framing environments
• Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by Simpson's reputation for structural connector design, this hanger is part of a diverse line engineered to handle a wide range of face-mount framing applications with consistent, dependable performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist or member is the HGUS26 designed to support?

The HGUS26 is designed for a nominal 2x6 joist or truss member, making it suitable for applications requiring a face-mount hanger at that specific member size.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS26?

The HGUS26 should be installed with 16d common nails. Its double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails overall while still achieving a strong, high-load connection.

What does the G90 galvanized coating mean for this hanger?

The G90 designation refers to a zinc galvanized coating that provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in demanding construction environments over time.

Why is double-shear nailing important in the HGUS26?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, which increases overall strength and makes the HGUS26 especially well-suited for applications where higher load values are needed.
