The Simpson HU26-2 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications where a double 2x6 member demands a stronger, safer connection than a single-member hanger can deliver. Built to the standards trusted by engineers and contractors on residential and commercial projects alike, this face-mount hanger is purpose-built to handle the added load requirements that come with doubled framing members, giving builders a reliable solution that goes in fast without compromising structural performance.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you adjust positioning during installation without having to reframe or re-mark, saving time on the job site.
• Designed for a nominal joist size of Double 2x6 - purpose-fit for doubled framing members, ensuring a snug, load-rated connection that a single-member hanger cannot provide.
• Constructed from 14-gauge steel - heavier-gauge material delivers the added rigidity and load capacity required for heavy-duty structural applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating for extra corrosion resistance - protects the hanger in moisture-prone environments, helping maintain structural integrity over the long term.

Why This Product

• Engineered for heavy-duty performance - Simpson designed the HU series specifically for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making this hanger the right choice when a standard joist hanger is not enough.
• Genuine Simpson quality you can count on - manufactured to the highest quality standards and tested to perform, this connector is the go-to choice of engineers and contractors who need a connector that meets code-required safety margins.
• Flexible "U" design reduces installation hassle - the open "U" profile allows the hanger to slide into position on the header without rigid alignment constraints, cutting down on installation time and frustration.
• Durable G90 galvanized finish for lasting protection - the zinc galvanized coating provides a higher level of corrosion resistance than standard finishes, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing where moisture exposure is a real concern.
