The Simpson HGUS3.25/10 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-capacity structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications where higher load values are needed. Built to support 3-1/8 in. wide glulam members ranging from 9 to 15 in. tall, this face-mount hanger secures the connection from underneath the joist, rafter, or beam to deliver a strong and reliable structural hold. Formed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is built for demanding framing applications that require both strength and durability.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength and making this hanger well-suited for high-load structural connections
• Fewer nails required, faster installation - the double-shear geometry allows contractors to achieve strong connections with fewer fasteners, reducing labor time without sacrificing performance
• Compatible with standard 16d common nails - no specialty fasteners needed, so installers can work with hardware they already have on site
• Accepts glulam members 9 to 15 in. tall - the wide height range gives builders flexibility across multiple beam depths using a single hanger model
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity required for heavy-duty framing applications where load capacity is a priority
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connection in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the factory geometry ensures the hanger performs as engineered and maintains its rated load capacity

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-load glulam applications - the HGUS series is specifically designed for connections where higher load values are needed, making this hanger a purpose-built solution for heavy structural framing rather than a general-purpose alternative
• Double-shear nailing means stronger connections with less hardware - by distributing force across two shear planes per nail and allowing the use of standard nails, this hanger helps builders achieve code-worthy connections efficiently and cost-effectively
• Versatile beam height compatibility - support for glulam members ranging from 9 to 15 in. tall means this single hanger can serve multiple framing scenarios, reducing the need to source different hangers for similar jobs
• G90 galvanized coating for long-term reliability - the added corrosion protection makes this hanger a dependable choice for framing projects where exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions is a factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What size glulam beam is the HGUS3.25/10 designed to support?

The HGUS3.25/10 is designed for glulam members that are 3-1/8 in. wide and range from 9 to 15 in. tall, with a seat width of 3-1/4 in.

What type of nails should be used to install this hanger?

This hanger should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer nails while still achieving a strong connection.

What is the benefit of the double-shear nailing design?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, which provides greater strength compared to single-shear connections and helps achieve higher load values with fewer fasteners.

Is the HGUS3.25/10 suitable for use in corrosive environments?

The HGUS3.25/10 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications where added protection against the elements is required.
