The Simpson HU212-2TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2x12 is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered by Simpson to deliver maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners in double 2x12 framing applications. The HUTF series brings together the structural advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single solution, while face-nailing keeps the hanger securely attached to the member for a reliable, code-compliant connection. Whether you are framing a deck, floor system, or roof structure, this hanger is built to handle demanding residential and commercial applications with confidence.

Key Features

• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the benefits of both hanger types into one connector, giving installers maximum structural efficiency without extra hardware
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be securely fastened directly to the member, resulting in a firm, stable connection that holds under heavy loads
• Adjustable skew and slope capability up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled and sloped framing conditions without requiring a special-order part, keeping projects on schedule
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed for structural double 2x12 joist applications where load capacity and long-term integrity matter
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, helping the connector maintain its structural rating over time
• HUTF-series tested, load rated, and code compliant - takes the guesswork out of inspections and permits by meeting recognized building code standards
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the versatility of this hanger to non-standard framing lumber when project conditions require it

Why This Product

• One hanger, two advantages - the hybrid HUTF design integrates the holding power of a top-mount hanger with the installation convenience of a face-mount hanger, so structural crews get maximum down-load performance with fewer fasteners and less time on the job
• Built for angled framing without compromise - the ability to skew or slope up to 45 deg. means this joist hanger handles complex framing layouts that would sideline a standard fixed hanger, making it a practical choice for hip roofs, angled decks, and non-perpendicular beam connections
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides a meaningful layer of protection in moisture-prone environments, helping preserve the structural integrity of the connection long after installation
• Code-compliant confidence right out of the box - HUTF-series hangers are tested and load rated to meet code requirements, simplifying the inspection process and supporting project approval on both residential and commercial builds
