The Simpson HU26TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for 2x6 is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered to deliver maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners. Combining the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single solution, this Simpson connector uses face-nailing to create a secure attachment to the structural member, making it a reliable choice for residential and commercial framing applications where consistent load performance and installation efficiency matter.

Key Features

• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - delivers the structural benefits of both hanger styles in one connector, reducing the need for multiple product types on the job site
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be securely fastened directly to the structural member for a firm, dependable connection
• Skews up to 45 deg. and slopes downward up to 45 deg. - provides the flexibility needed for angled and sloped framing conditions without requiring custom hardware
• Made from 12-gauge steel - heavy-duty construction supports demanding load requirements in structural framing applications
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone framing environments
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connector meets established performance and safety standards
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - accommodates less common member dimensions when standard sizing does not fit the application

Why This Product

• One hanger, two installation advantages - the hybrid top-flange face-mount design means you get the secure face-nailing of a face-mount hanger and the top-bearing surface of a top-mount hanger, eliminating the compromise of choosing between the two
• Built for real-world framing flexibility - with skew and slope capacity of up to 45 deg. in either direction, this joist hanger handles angled structural connections that standard fixed hangers cannot accommodate
• Maximum load performance with fewer fasteners - the HUTF design is engineered to achieve high down-load capacity without requiring an excessive nail count, saving time during installation
• Tested, rated, and ready for inspection - HUTF-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant, so contractors can frame with confidence knowing the connection will satisfy plan requirements and pass inspection
