The Simpson HGUS28-3 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for applications where higher load values are needed. Built to support triple 2x8 framing members, this 12-gauge face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection underneath the joist, rafter, or beam - making it a dependable choice for demanding residential and commercial framing projects. Its double-shear nailing design and G90 zinc galvanized coating combine structural performance with long-term durability.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving you greater strength and connection integrity at every fastening point
• Fewer nails required with standard 16d common nails - speeds up installation and eliminates the need for specialty fasteners, reducing both labor time and material costs
• Engineered for triple 2x8 framing members - sized precisely to accommodate three 2x8 members side by side, ensuring a secure and properly fitted connection without field modification
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity and load-carrying capacity needed for high-demand framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance to help extend the service life of the hanger in tough jobsite and environmental conditions
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the hanger's original form is essential to maintaining its rated load capacity and engineered performance

Why This Product

• Built for high-load applications - the HGUS series is specifically designed for situations where standard hangers fall short, making this an ideal choice when your framing calls for higher load values at the connection point
• Faster, simpler installation without sacrificing strength - the double-shear nailing system allows fewer nails and the use of standard common nails for all connections, so crews can work efficiently without compromising structural integrity
• Long-term corrosion protection built in - the G90 zinc galvanized finish provides extra resistance against corrosion, helping protect your structural investment over the life of the build
