The Simpson 2 x 10 Heavy Face-Mount Truss Hanger is a heavy-duty galvanized structural connector engineered to deliver reliable, code-ready truss-to-header and truss-to-beam connections, even at shallow heel heights where standard hangers fall short. Built by Simpson and made in the United States, this face-mount hanger is purpose-built for 2 x 10 truss applications and features a nail pattern optimized to achieve full allowable loads with minimum nailing at heel heights as low as 3 7/8 in., giving contractors and framers a dependable solution for tight truss conditions.

Key Features

• Nail pattern engineered for shallow heel heights - full allowable loads apply with minimum nailing at heel heights as low as 3 7/8 in., so contractors are not forced to over-nail or modify framing to achieve rated performance.
• Minimum and maximum nailing options - provides solutions for varying heel heights and end conditions, giving installers flexibility to adapt to real-world framing situations without compromising structural integrity.
• Alternate allowable loads for truss-end gaps - accommodates gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member, reducing the need for costly corrections when field tolerances vary.
• 16-gauge galvanized construction with G90 zinc coating - delivers corrosion resistance suited to exterior and exposed framing environments, helping the hanger maintain performance over the life of the structure.
• Skewable up to 67-1/2 deg. - allows the hanger to be configured for angled truss installations, making it a versatile fit for hip roofs, irregular framing layouts, and non-square connections.
• Compatible with multiple fastener types - installs with 16d common nails and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or with #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving crews the option to use the fastener type that best fits their workflow and job-site conditions.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for low-heel truss framing - the optimized nail pattern allows full allowable loads at heel heights as low as 3 7/8 in., solving a common challenge in shallow-pitch roof construction without requiring special accommodations or additional hardware.
• Built-in job-site tolerance for truss placement - alternate load ratings for truss-end gaps mean minor framing variances do not automatically require costly fixes, helping keep projects on schedule and within budget.
• Heavy-duty, galvanized for lasting performance - 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating provides the strength and corrosion resistance that heavy truss connections demand, particularly in applications subject to moisture or outdoor exposure.
• Versatile enough for complex roof geometries - skew capability up to 67-1/2 deg. and multiple fastener options make this hanger a practical single-product solution across a wide range of truss and beam connection scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum heel height at which the HTU210 delivers full allowable loads?

The HTU210 is engineered with a nail pattern that allows full allowable loads with minimum nailing to apply at heel heights as low as 3 7/8", making it especially useful for shallow heel truss applications.

What fasteners are required to install the HTU210?

The HTU210 is installed with 16d common nails and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws.

What gap tolerance is allowed between the truss end and the carrying member?

Alternate allowable loads are provided for gaps up to 1/2" maximum between the end of the truss and the carrying member, offering greater construction tolerances. The maximum gap for standard allowable loads is 1/8" per ASTM D7147.

What angle can the HTU210 be skewed to accommodate angled installations?

The HTU210 may be skewed up to 67-1/2 deg. to accommodate various framing configurations and angled truss installations.
