The Simpson HGUS3.25/12 HGUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty face-mount connector engineered by Simpson for structural applications where higher load values are required. Built to support 3-1/8 in. wide glulam members from 12 to 18 in. tall, this hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection underneath the joist, rafter, or beam. Its double-shear nailing design and 12-gauge steel construction make it a dependable choice for demanding framing and timber connections.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing technology - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength and higher load-carrying capacity for demanding structural connections
• Requires fewer nails with standard 16d common nails - simplifies your fastener inventory and speeds up installation without sacrificing connection strength or code compliance
• Accepts 3-1/8 in. wide glulam members from 12 to 18 in. tall - gives you flexibility across a range of glulam beam depths within a single hanger model
• Made from 12-gauge steel - delivers the structural rigidity needed to handle higher load applications in heavy framing assemblies
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - maintaining the hanger as designed ensures the connection performs to its rated capacity as intended

Why This Product

• Engineered for higher load demands - the HGUS series is specifically designed for applications where standard joist hangers fall short, making this hanger a sound choice when structural loads exceed typical residential framing requirements
• Double-shear nailing means stronger connections with less hardware - by distributing force through two shear points per nail, the hanger achieves superior load transfer while allowing fewer total nails, saving time on the job
• Broad glulam depth compatibility - with support for glulam members ranging from 12 to 18 in. tall, this single hanger accommodates multiple beam sizes, reducing the need to source different hangers for similar applications
• G90 galvanized protection from a trusted manufacturer - the corrosion-resistant finish combined with domestic manufacturing quality makes this hanger a reliable long-term component in structural framing assemblies

Frequently Asked Questions

What size glulam beam is the HGUS3.25/12 designed to support?

The HGUS3.25/12 is designed for a 3-1/8 in. wide glulam member ranging from 12 to 18 in. in height, with a seat width of 3-1/4 in. to accommodate that beam width.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS3.25/12?

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, code-compliant connection.

What does double-shear nailing mean and why does it matter?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater strength and load-carrying capacity. This makes the HGUS3.25/12 well suited for applications requiring higher load values.

What corrosion protection does the HGUS3.25/12 have?

The HGUS3.25/12 is coated with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
