Product Description
The Simpson TOP FLANGE FACE MOUNT HANGER is a hybrid joist hanger engineered to deliver the structural advantages of both face-mount and top-mount configurations in a single connector. Designed to support 3-1/8 x 12 joists, it combines top-flange bearing support with secure face-nailing attachment, giving framing professionals greater flexibility and holding strength in structural connections. Finished with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, this hanger is built to hold up in demanding environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - provides both top-flange bearing support and face-nailing capability in one connector, reducing the need for separate hardware in complex framing situations
- Top-flange construction - sits over the top of the header for added bearing support, improving load transfer and connection stability at the joist-to-header interface
- Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be securely fastened directly to the supporting member, delivering reliable holding strength across a range of structural framing applications
- Fits 3-1/8 x 12 joist size - precisely sized for engineered lumber and dimensional lumber joists at this dimension, ensuring a proper fit without field modification
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides a solid, durable connector suited for heavy-load structural framing connections
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance for use in environments where moisture and exposure are a concern, helping extend the service life of the connection
- One "A" flange concealment - supports cleaner aesthetic results where a visible flange is undesirable, making it a practical choice for finished or semi-exposed framing applications
- Domestically produced - reflects the precision and quality control standards expected in structural connector manufacturing
Why This Product
- Two connection methods in one hanger - the hybrid top-flange and face-mount design eliminates the compromise between bearing support and nailing flexibility, making it well suited for structural framing projects that demand both
- Purpose-built for 3-1/8 x 12 framing members - the specific sizing ensures a precise, code-conscious fit for engineered lumber and dimensional joists at this dimension, reducing installation guesswork on the job site
- G90 galvanized protection - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish addresses corrosion concerns in moisture-prone construction environments, supporting long-term connector performance without frequent inspection or replacement
- Cleaner framing results - the option to conceal one "A" flange makes this hanger a practical choice when aesthetics matter alongside structural performance, particularly in visible or semi-finished framing applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What joist size is the HU3.25/12TF designed to fit?
The HU3.25/12TF is specifically designed for a 3-1/8 x 12 joist size, with an interior width of 3.25 inches and a hanger height of 12 inches.
What makes the HU3.25/12TF a "hybrid" hanger?
The HU3.25/12TF is considered a hybrid hanger because it combines the benefits of both face-mount and top-mount hanger configurations. Its top-flange construction allows it to sit over the top of the header for added bearing support, while its face-nailing capability enables secure attachment directly to the supporting member.
What gauge steel is used, and what corrosion protection does this hanger have?
The HU3.25/12TF is constructed from 12-gauge steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, which provides superior corrosion resistance for long-term performance in demanding construction environments.
What are the key dimensions of the HU3.25/12TF?
The HU3.25/12TF has a width (W) of 3.25 inches, a height (H) of 12 inches, a seat depth (B) of 2.5 inches, and a top flange (TF) measurement of 2.5 inches.
