The Simpson HHUS26-2 is a heavy-duty, face-mount joist hanger built for structural connections where higher load values are required. Engineered by Simpson to support double 2x6 joists, rafters, or beams, this hanger combines a robust 14-gauge steel construction with a double-shear nailing design that delivers exceptional holding strength in demanding framing applications. The G90 zinc galvanized finish provides reliable corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for both interior framing and environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving structural connections greater strength than standard single-shear hangers
• Fewer nails required with standard nail compatibility - speeds up installation and lets you use common 16d nails throughout, reducing hardware complexity on the job site
• Supports double 2x6 members - sized specifically for doubled 2x6 joists, rafters, or beams, so it fits common framing assemblies without modification
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for high-load applications where lighter-gauge hangers fall short
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers extra corrosion resistance to extend the service life of the connection in tough or moisture-prone conditions
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - maintaining the factory tab configuration preserves the rated load performance of the hanger as designed

Why This Product

• Built for high-load framing demands - the HHUS series is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are needed, making this hanger a stronger choice than standard face-mount options when structural performance matters
• Faster, simpler installation without sacrificing strength - the double-shear nailing system allows fewer nails to achieve a strong connection, and the use of standard 16d common nails means no specialty fasteners are required on site
• Corrosion resistance you can count on - the G90 zinc galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, helping the hanger hold up over time in framing environments where moisture or humidity is a factor
• Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by Simpson's broad line of structural connectors, the HHUS26-2 is part of a proven system designed to handle virtually any joist, rafter, or beam connection with consistent, reliable results

Frequently Asked Questions

What joist size is the HHUS26-2 designed for?

The HHUS26-2 is designed for a nominal double 2x6 member size, making it ideal for applications using doubled 2x6 joists, rafters, or beams.

What type of nails should be used to install the HHUS26-2?

The HHUS26-2 should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails while maintaining a strong connection, speeding up the installation process.

What makes the HHUS26-2 suitable for higher load applications?

The HHUS26-2 features double-shear nailing, which distributes the load through two points on each joist nail. This design provides greater strength compared to standard hangers, making it appropriate for applications where higher load values are required.

How is the HHUS26-2 protected against corrosion?

The HHUS26-2 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, helping to extend the service life of the hanger in demanding environments.
