The Simpson HGUS412 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is an extra-heavy-capacity hanger engineered for applications requiring girder support. Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength, while the value-engineered design allows this girder hanger to carry high loads at an economical price. Whether used in new framing or retrofit situations, this face-mount hanger delivers the structural reliability heavy-load connections demand.

Key Features

• Can be installed after the beam is secured in place - allows for flexible sequencing during framing or retrofit projects, saving time on the job site.
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HGUS-series hangers meet established standards, giving builders and inspectors confidence in every structural connection.
• Double-shear nailing design - distributes load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength for demanding girder support applications.
• Made from 12-gauge steel - heavy-gauge construction provides the rigidity and durability needed for extra-heavy-capacity joist and girder connections.
• Zinc galvanized G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Sized for nominal 4x12 framing members - ensures a precise, secure fit for the intended beam size without modification.
• Do not bend or remove tabs - maintaining factory tab configuration preserves the engineered load ratings the hanger is tested and certified to meet.

Why This Product

• Extra-heavy-capacity performance at a value-engineered price - the HGUS412 is specifically designed to carry high loads economically, making it a practical choice for girder support without overbuilding your budget.
• Retrofit-friendly installation - because this face-mount hanger can be installed after the beam is already in place, it works for both new construction framing and existing structure repairs without requiring disassembly.
• Built-in assurance through testing and code compliance - HGUS-series hangers are tested and load rated, so contractors and project owners can rely on consistent, verified performance in structural applications.
• Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term durability - the G90 zinc galvanized finish adds a layer of protection that helps this heavy-gauge steel hanger hold up in conditions where lesser hardware would degrade over time.
