The Simpson HU210 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Designed to cradle nominal 2x10 lumber, this face-mount hanger gives engineers and contractors a tested, load-rated solution that meets building code requirements across residential and commercial framing projects. The U-profile design and 14-gauge steel construction make it a dependable choice wherever a secure, rigid joist-to-header connection is required.

Key Features

• HU-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives you confidence that every installation meets structural and building code requirements without guesswork.
• U design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you position the hanger where it best suits your framing layout, reducing layout constraints on the job site.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - delivers the heavy-duty rigidity and strength needed for framing connections that go beyond standard-duty applications.
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized coating helps the hanger hold up in moisture-prone or outdoor environments over the long term.
• Seat width sized for nominal 2x10 lumber - ensures a proper, snug fit that keeps the joist member correctly positioned and fully supported.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance backed by real testing - the HU-series is specifically engineered for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, not just a general-purpose hanger, so you get a connector rated for demanding framing loads.
• Trusted by engineers and contractors - Simpson connectors are the go-to choice of professionals who need proven, code-compliant hardware they can specify and install with confidence.
• Built to last in tough conditions - the G90 zinc galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance, making this joist hanger a solid fit for decks, covered structures, and other applications where moisture exposure is a real concern.
• Flexible header placement without sacrificing strength - the U-shaped design lets you adjust positioning along the header to suit your specific framing layout, giving you practical versatility without compromising structural integrity.
