The Simpson HU24TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2x4 is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered by Simpson to deliver maximum downward load capacity with a minimum number of fasteners in structural framing applications. By combining the benefits of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single product, this 12-gauge steel hanger provides a secure, code-compliant connection for nominal 2x4 joists. Face-nailing attaches the hanger firmly to the supporting member while the top flange seats over the header, giving framers the strength and versatility needed for demanding residential and commercial framing projects.

Key Features

• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the structural advantages of both hanger types in one connector, reducing the need for multiple hardware solutions on a single job.
• Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be securely fastened to the supporting member, improving holding strength and simplifying installation.
• Skew up to 45 deg. or slope downward up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled and non-standard framing layouts without requiring specialty hardware.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides heavy-duty structural rigidity suitable for load-bearing joist-to-header connections in demanding applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets recognized safety and performance standards.
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usefulness of the HUTF series beyond standard dimensional lumber where project requirements demand it.

Why This Product

• One hanger, two installation methods - the hybrid top-flange and face-mount engineering means framers get the load performance of a top-mount hanger with the secure member attachment of a face-mount design, eliminating compromise between the two approaches.
• Built-in framing flexibility - the ability to skew or slope the hanger up to 45 deg. in either direction makes this connector a practical choice for hip roofs, angled deck frames, and other non-perpendicular joist applications without sourcing additional specialty parts.
• Tested and rated for confidence on the job - HUTF-series hangers carry load ratings and code compliance verification, giving contractors documentation support during inspections and peace of mind on structural connections.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, helping the hanger maintain structural integrity in moisture-prone framing environments over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are required to install the HU24TF hanger?

Install with (6) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (2) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist.

What makes the HUTF a "hybrid" hanger?

The HUTF-series incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hangers. Its top-flange design seats over the header while face-nailing securely attaches the hanger to the supporting member, offering the strength benefits of both hanger types in a single product.

Can the HU24TF be used in angled or sloped framing applications?

Yes. The hanger can be skewed a maximum of 45 deg. or sloped downward to a maximum of 45 deg., providing flexibility for non-standard framing layouts.

Is the HU24TF corrosion resistant and code compliant?

Yes. The HU24TF is finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for extra corrosion resistance. HUTF-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant.
