The Simpson HU14 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector from Simpson engineered to securely support 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. engineered wood joists in structures requiring additional strength and safety factors. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this face-mount hanger is a trusted choice among engineers and contractors who demand reliable, code-compliant performance in wood framing applications.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you fine-tune positioning during installation rather than being locked into a fixed location, reducing errors and saving time on the job.
• Sized for 1-3/4 in. x 14 in. engineered wood members - provides a precise, snug fit for LVL, PSL, and other engineered lumber of that dimension, ensuring proper load transfer at the connection point.
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength needed in structural framing applications where standard-duty hangers may not meet load requirements.
• G90 galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable option in moisture-prone environments where long-term durability matters.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance where it counts - the HU series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it appropriate for demanding framing conditions beyond the scope of light-duty hangers.
• Engineered and tested to the highest quality standards - Simpson connectors are manufactured to rigorous quality benchmarks and are the go-to choice of engineers and contractors on both residential and commercial projects.
• Flexible installation without sacrificing precision - the "U" design accommodates placement adjustments on the header, giving installers practical flexibility while still delivering a secure, correctly seated joist connection.
• Built to resist corrosion over the long term - the G90 galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of protection against moisture and oxidation, supporting the longevity of the structural connection in real-world conditions.
