The Simpson HGUS414 HGUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered specifically for applications where higher load values are needed. Designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection for nominal 4x14 lumber and 3-1/2 in. glulam beams. Its double-shear nailing technology sets it apart in demanding framing applications where structural performance and installation efficiency both matter.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving the connection greater strength and reducing stress concentration at any single fastening point
• Fewer nails required for a full connection - speeds up installation and allows the use of standard nails throughout, lowering both labor time and fastener costs on the job
• Compatible with nominal 4x14 joists and 3-1/2 in. glulam beams - makes this hanger a practical fit for heavy structural framing where engineered lumber or dimensional lumber may be used
• Built from 12-gauge steel - provides the rigidity and load-carrying capacity needed for high-demand structural connections in floor and roof framing systems
• Zinc galvanized finish (G90) - adds a durable layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture or humidity could degrade unprotected steel over time
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving tab integrity is essential to ensure the hanger performs exactly as engineered and maintains its rated load capacity

Why This Product

• Built for high-load structural applications - the HGUS series is specifically designed for situations where standard hangers fall short, making this a dependable choice for heavy joist and beam connections that need to perform under greater stress
• Double-shear nailing means stronger joints with less hardware - by spreading load across two shear planes per nail, this hanger achieves superior load distribution while letting builders work faster using standard 16d common nails
• G90 galvanized coating extends service life - the zinc galvanized finish provides meaningful corrosion resistance, making this hanger a sound long-term investment in framing assemblies exposed to moisture-prone conditions
• American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson Strong-Tie is a widely recognized name in structural hardware, and this hanger is produced to meet the exacting standards expected in professional construction framing

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist or beam is the HGUS414 designed to support?

The HGUS414 is designed for a nominal 4x14 joist or a 3-1/2 in. glulam beam, making it suitable for heavy structural framing applications.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS414?

The HGUS414 should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer nails while still achieving greater strength by distributing the load through two points on each joist nail.

What is the benefit of the G90 galvanized coating on the HGUS414?

The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making the HGUS414 more durable in environments where moisture or humidity could otherwise degrade an uncoated steel hanger over time.

Are there any important installation precautions to keep in mind with the HGUS414?

Yes - the tabs on the HGUS414 must not be bent or removed. Maintaining the integrity of the tabs is essential to ensure the hanger performs as engineered and provides the intended load capacity.
