The Simpson HGUS6.88/14 Face-Mount Hanger is an extra-heavy-capacity girder hanger from Simpson, engineered for structural applications where high-load girder support is essential. Built to handle demanding load requirements, this face-mount hanger combines robust steel construction with a value-engineered design, making it a reliable choice for contractors and builders who need dependable girder connection hardware without compromise.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy-capacity design - built specifically for girder support applications where high load-carrying capability is critical, giving builders confidence in structural connections
• Double-shear nailing - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, increasing connection strength and overall load-carrying capacity compared to single-shear configurations
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty framework needed for high-capacity hanger applications, delivering durability across demanding job site conditions
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - offers a layer of corrosion resistance, helping protect the hanger in appropriate construction environments over the long term
• Value-engineered construction - carries high loads at an economical price, allowing projects to meet structural requirements without inflating hardware costs

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for girder support - unlike general-purpose joist hangers, this hanger is specifically engineered for extra-heavy-capacity girder connections, so it is matched to the demands of the application from the start
• Stronger nailing geometry - the double-shear nailing design works each joist nail at two load-transfer points, delivering greater connection strength than single-shear alternatives without requiring a larger or heavier hanger
• Domestic manufacturing with corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of durability, and the hanger is produced in the United States to consistent quality standards
• High performance at an economical price - the value-engineered construction means builders get a heavy-duty face-mount girder hanger capable of serious structural work without paying a premium for capacity they can actually use

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of applications is the HGUS6.88/14 designed for?

The HGUS6.88/14 is an extra-heavy-capacity hanger specifically designed for applications requiring girder support, where high load-carrying capability 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 increases the overall strength and load-carrying capacity of the connection compared to single-shear configurations.

What gauge steel is used in the HGUS6.88/14?

The HGUS6.88/14 is fabricated from 12-gauge steel, providing the heavy-duty construction needed for high-capacity girder hanger applications.

What corrosion protection does the HGUS6.88/14 have?

The HGUS6.88/14 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for use in appropriate construction environments.
