The Simpson HGUS26-3 Heavy Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is built for structural framing applications where higher load values are required. Engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie, this face-mount hanger provides dependable support underneath triple 2x6 joists, rafters, and beams, delivering a strong, secure connection at the point where it matters most. Whether you are framing a girder assembly, deck structure, or heavy-load floor system, the HGUS26-3 is designed to handle demanding connections with confidence.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving the connection greater strength and structural reliability compared to single-shear alternatives
• Fewer nails required, faster installation - the double-shear design lets you complete connections more efficiently while still using standard 16d common nails throughout, reducing both labor time and material complexity
• Nominal joist size: Triple 2x6 - purpose-built to fit triple 2x6 framing members, ensuring a precise, secure fit without modification
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavier-duty material thickness needed for applications with elevated load requirements
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone framing environments over the long term
• Do not bend or remove tabs - preserving the factory tabs maintains the engineered load performance the hanger is rated to deliver

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-load triple-member framing - the HGUS series from Simpson Strong-Tie is specifically designed for applications where standard hangers fall short, making the HGUS26-3 a reliable choice when triple 2x6 girder or truss assemblies carry heavier structural loads
• Smarter nailing means faster, simpler installation - the double-shear nailing system achieves superior load distribution while allowing the use of standard nails for every connection, so you spend less time sourcing specialty hardware and more time getting the job done
• Built-in corrosion protection for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic rust resistance, making this hanger a sound long-term investment in framing applications where moisture exposure is a real concern
• American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - produced domestically and backed by Simpson Strong-Tie's reputation for precision-engineered connectors, the HGUS26-3 meets the expectations of contractors and builders who cannot afford to compromise on connection integrity

Frequently Asked Questions

What size framing member is the HGUS26-3 designed for?

The HGUS26-3 is designed for a nominal joist size of Triple 2x6, making it suitable for applications that require a hanger to support triple 2x6 truss or girder assemblies.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS26-3?

The HGUS26-3 should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for fewer nails overall while still achieving a strong connection.

What is the benefit of double-shear nailing on the HGUS26-3?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength compared to single-shear connections. It also enables the use of standard nails for all connections and contributes to faster installation.

What corrosion protection does the HGUS26-3 offer?

The HGUS26-3 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
