The Simpson HU212-3TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger for Triple 2x12 is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered to deliver maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners. Built by Simpson, this connector combines the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single solution, with face-nailing that allows the hanger to be securely attached to the supporting member. Whether you are framing a deck, floor system, or structural roof assembly requiring a triple 2x12 member, this hanger provides a reliable, code-recognized connection in a wide range of framing conditions.

Key Features

• Hybrid HUTF face-mount and top-mount design - incorporates the advantages of both mounting styles, giving installers greater flexibility without sacrificing load capacity
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be securely fastened to the supporting member, making installation straightforward in standard framing applications
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity and load-bearing strength required for heavy triple-member joist connections
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in exposed or treated-lumber environments
• Adjustable up to 45 deg. skew and 45 deg. downward slope - accommodates non-standard framing angles so one hanger handles a variety of field conditions
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUTF-series hangers meet recognized code standards, supporting inspections and structural documentation on the job site
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - provides a path to accommodate non-standard member dimensions when project requirements fall outside the standard configuration

Why This Product

• One hanger, two mounting advantages - the hybrid HUTF design incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hangers, eliminating the need to source separate connectors for mixed framing conditions and reducing hardware complexity on the job site
• Maximum load transfer with fewer fasteners - engineered to provide maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners, this hanger keeps installation efficient without compromising structural performance for triple 2x12 framing members
• Built-in adaptability for real-world framing - the ability to skew up to 45 deg. or slope downward up to 45 deg. means this connector works in angled and non-standard structural conditions that a fixed hanger simply cannot handle
• Corrosion-resistant finish designed for demanding environments - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable long-term choice for framing projects where moisture or treated lumber is a factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of joist or beam is this hanger designed to support?

The HU212-3TF is designed specifically for a triple 2x12 nominal joist or beam configuration, providing a seat width of 4-11/16 in. to accommodate the combined member width.

What makes the HUTF a "hybrid" hanger?

The HUTF series incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hangers. It uses face-nailing to securely attach to the supporting member while also featuring a top flange, allowing it to function effectively in applications where either mounting style would traditionally be required.

Can this hanger be installed at an angle?

Yes. The HU212-3TF can be skewed a maximum of 45 deg. and can also be sloped downward to a maximum of 45 deg., making it adaptable for a variety of non-standard framing conditions.

Is the HU212-3TF code compliant, and what fasteners are required for installation?

Yes. HUTF-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant. This hanger should be installed with (22) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails to achieve its rated load capacity.
