The Simpson HU210TF Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty, hybrid joist hanger from Simpson that delivers maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners for 2x10 nominal joist applications. Part of the HUTF series, this connector combines the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single component, allowing face-nailing directly into the header for a secure, load-rated connection. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is well suited for wood-frame construction where structural reliability, installation efficiency, and corrosion resistance are all required.

Key Features

• Hybrid HUTF design combines face-mount and top-mount advantages - gives builders a single connector that handles the strengths of both hanger types, reducing the need for multiple components on the job site
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be securely fastened directly to the header member, producing a tight, load-rated connection with fewer fasteners required overall
• Skews up to 45 deg. and slopes downward up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled and non-standard framing conditions so one hanger can serve installations where joists do not meet the header at a standard 90 deg. angle
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity and load capacity expected of heavy-duty framing hardware in demanding wood-frame applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for both interior framing and environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUTF-series hangers meet the documentation and performance standards required for use in code-compliant construction, supporting inspections and project approvals
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usefulness of the HUTF design beyond standard dimensional lumber when project requirements call for oversized or rough-sawn members

Why This Product

• One connector, two hanger advantages - the hybrid HUTF design merges face-mount and top-mount functionality, meaning framers get the load performance and installation flexibility of both approaches without switching between separate hardware types
• Maximum loads with fewer fasteners - Simpson engineered this hanger to achieve high down-load capacity using a reduced fastener count, which translates directly to faster installation and less labor on repetitive joist layouts
• Built-in versatility for complex framing - the ability to skew or slope up to 45 deg. means this hanger adapts to hip roofs, angled decks, and other non-perpendicular framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication
• Code-compliant and corrosion resistant out of the box - HUTF-series testing and load ratings satisfy inspection requirements, while the G90 galvanized coating adds long-term durability in moisture-prone framing environments

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HU210TF a "hybrid" hanger?

The HU210TF is part of Simpson Strong-Tie's HUTF series, which incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single connector. This hybrid approach allows for face-nailing into the header while also providing a top flange for added support, resulting in maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners.

What fasteners are required to install the HU210TF?

The HU210TF should be installed with (12) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (4) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist for a proper, load-rated connection.

Can the HU210TF be used in angled or sloped installations?

Yes. The HU210TF hanger can be skewed a maximum of 45 deg. or sloped downward to a maximum of 45 deg., offering significant flexibility for installations where joists do not meet the header at a standard 90 deg. angle.

Is the HU210TF approved for use in code-compliant construction?

Yes. HUTF-series hangers, including the HU210TF, are tested, load rated, and code compliant, making them suitable for use in structural applications where building code approval is required. The G90 galvanized coating also meets corrosion-resistance standards for a wide range of environments.
