The Simpson HGUS26-4 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Quad 2x6 Assemblies by Simpson is a heavy-duty face-mount connector engineered for applications where higher load values are needed. Designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection for quad 2x6 girder and truss assemblies. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is a dependable solution for demanding structural framing projects where both performance and durability are critical.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving the connection greater strength than single-shear alternatives without requiring additional hardware
• Fewer nails required for a complete connection - speeds up installation on the job site and reduces material usage, saving both time and cost on large framing projects
• Compatible with standard 16d common nails - eliminates the need for specialty fasteners, so installers can complete the connection with hardware already on hand
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity and load capacity needed for heavier quad 2x6 joist and truss assemblies where standard hangers fall short
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its integrity in moisture-prone or treated-lumber environments over the long term
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the factory tab configuration is essential to maintaining the rated load performance of the connection

Why This Product

• Engineered for higher-load applications - the HGUS26-4 is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are needed, making it the right choice when a standard joist hanger cannot meet the structural demand of a quad 2x6 assembly
• Faster, simpler installation without sacrificing strength - the double-shear nailing system allows for fewer nails and the use of standard common nails throughout, cutting installation time while still achieving a strong, code-ready connection
• Built-in corrosion protection for long service life - the G90 zinc galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a reliable long-term choice in challenging environments where uncoated steel would degrade prematurely
• Made in the United States by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson has a well-established reputation in structural framing hardware, and this hanger reflects the consistent quality and engineering that contractors and builders depend on for critical load-bearing connections

Frequently Asked Questions

What size member is the HGUS26-4 designed to support?

The HGUS26-4 is designed for a nominal joist size of Quad 2x6, making it suitable for applications requiring a quadruple 2x6 girder or truss assembly.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS26-4?

The HGUS26-4 should be installed with 16d common nails. Its double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails and faster installation compared to other hanger types.

What is the benefit of the double-shear nailing design on the HGUS26-4?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, which provides greater strength and allows for fewer nails to be used while still achieving a strong connection.

What corrosion protection does the HGUS26-4 offer?

The HGUS26-4 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance and helps extend the service life of the hanger in demanding environments.
