The Simpson HU24-2TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2x4 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson to deliver maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners. As a hybrid hanger, it brings together the strengths of both face-mount and top-mount designs, allowing face-nailing that securely attaches the hanger to the supporting member. Whether you are framing a standard deck, floor system, or a more complex angled application, this joist hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant - making it a dependable choice for double 2x4 joist connections.

Key Features

• Hybrid HUTF face-mount and top-mount design - combines the structural advantages of both hanger types so you get versatile load transfer and a secure connection in a single connector
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be firmly secured to the supporting member during installation, reducing movement and improving accuracy before final fastening
• Skew up to 45 deg. or slope downward up to 45 deg. - provides the flexibility needed to handle angled and sloped framing conditions without requiring custom fabrication
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength required for structural framing applications where load performance and long-term durability matter
• Zinc galvanized G90 finish - provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives contractors and builders confidence that the connector meets recognized performance standards without additional verification steps
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usability of the HUTF series beyond standard dimensions when project conditions require it

Why This Product

• One connector, two hanger benefits - the hybrid design merges face-mount convenience with top-mount load capacity, so structural framing crews get reliable performance without having to choose between two different hanger types for double 2x4 applications
• Built for demanding framing conditions - 12-gauge steel and a G90 galvanized coating mean this connector holds up under both structural loads and corrosive environments, reducing the risk of premature failure in challenging job-site conditions
• Flexible enough for complex framing layouts - with skew and slope capability up to 45 deg. in either direction, this hanger accommodates angled and non-standard framing configurations that would otherwise require specialty hardware
• Code-compliant and load rated out of the box - as part of the tested HUTF series, this hanger removes guesswork from the inspection process, helping projects stay on schedule with a connector that already meets established structural requirements
