The Simpson HGUS6.88/12 Face-Mount Hanger is an extra-heavy-capacity girder hanger from Simpson engineered for structural applications that demand reliable, high-load girder support. Built from 12-gauge steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, this face-mount hanger combines robust construction with double-shear nailing technology to deliver dependable load transfer where it counts most.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy-capacity design - built specifically for demanding girder support applications where standard hangers fall short, giving you confidence in high-load structural connections
• Double-shear nailing technology - distributes load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater overall strength and more reliable load transfer at every connection point
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty structural integrity needed for girder-level framing work, reducing the risk of deflection or failure under sustained loads
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance that helps maintain long-term performance even in demanding or moisture-prone environments
• Value-engineered construction - carries high loads at an economical price point, so you get heavy-duty hanger performance without paying a premium for capacity you can actually use

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for girder support - this hanger is specifically designed for extra-heavy-capacity face-mount applications, making it a precise fit for structural projects where load-bearing performance is non-negotiable
• Stronger connections through smarter engineering - double-shear nailing means each nail carries load through two shear planes, translating directly into a more secure and structurally sound connection compared to single-shear alternatives
• Long-term durability in tough conditions - the Zinc Galvanized G90 coating resists corrosion, helping the hanger maintain its structural integrity over time without frequent inspection or replacement concerns
• Trusted Simpson quality, made in the United States - backed by Simpson's reputation for precision-manufactured structural connectors, this face-mount hanger gives builders and contractors a product they can rely on from a brand with a proven track record in structural hardware

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of application is the HGUS6.88/12 designed for?

The HGUS6.88/12 is an extra-heavy-capacity face-mount hanger specifically designed for applications requiring girder support, where high load-bearing performance is essential.

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

Double-shear nailing is a design feature that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one. This results in greater overall strength and more reliable load transfer compared to single-shear connections.

What coating does the HGUS6.88/12 have?

The HGUS6.88/12 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides corrosion resistance to help ensure long-term performance in demanding environments.

What are the dimensions of the HGUS6.88/12?

The HGUS6.88/12 has a width of 6-7/8 inches, a height of 10-13/16 inches, and a B dimension of 4 inches. It is constructed from 12-gauge steel.
