Product Description
The Simpson 3 x 10 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered by Simpson that merges the structural benefits of both face-mount and top-mount connector designs into a single, versatile framing solution. Built to support 3x10 dimensional lumber members, this hanger is well-suited for demanding residential and commercial framing applications where a secure, reliable connection is required. The top-flange configuration allows the hanger to seat over the supporting member while still permitting face-nailing, giving contractors and builders a flexible installation option without sacrificing connection strength.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines two connection styles into one connector, reducing the need for separate hanger types on a job site and simplifying product selection for mixed framing conditions.
- Top-flange configuration - the flange seats over the supporting member before face-nailing, providing positive bearing and added stability during installation so the hanger stays positioned correctly while fasteners are driven.
- Sized specifically for 3x10 lumber - the interior pocket is dimensioned to properly cradle a 3x10 framing member, ensuring a snug, accurate fit that supports consistent load transfer at the connection point.
- 12-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material delivers the structural rigidity needed for high-load framing connections, making this hanger appropriate where lighter-duty hangers would be undersized.
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - the galvanized finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in moisture-prone framing environments and extending the working life of the connection.
- Optional concealed flange availability - the hanger can be configured with one flange concealed, offering a cleaner finished profile in applications where the connector's appearance is a consideration.
- Made in the United States - domestic production supports consistent manufacturing quality and reliable availability for professional framing projects.
Why This Product
- Two hanger styles, one connector - the hybrid top-flange face-mount design handles framing scenarios that would otherwise require separate hanger types, streamlining material planning and reducing the chance of using an undersized or mismatched connector.
- Built for 3x10 framing with no guesswork - because this hanger is engineered specifically for 3x10 lumber, the fit is accurate and predictable, which matters on jobs where inconsistent connections can create inspection or load-path issues.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for real-world conditions - the G90 galvanized coating means the connector is not limited to perfectly dry, interior-only applications, giving builders confidence when installing in areas subject to humidity or incidental moisture exposure.
- Trusted Simpson engineering - Simpson has a well-established reputation in structural connector design, and choosing a hanger from their lineup means the product is built to perform in the connection applications it is rated for, without needing to verify the brand's track record on each job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HU310TF different from a standard joist hanger?
The HU310TF is a hybrid hanger that combines the benefits of both face-mount and top-mount designs. This means it features a top flange that rests over the supporting member while also allowing face-nailing, giving installers greater flexibility and a more secure connection than a single-style hanger provides.
What lumber size is this hanger designed to support?
This hanger is specifically sized for 3x10 dimensional lumber members, with an interior width of 2.5625 inches and a height of 9 1/8 inches to properly cradle and support that member size.
What type of coating does the HU310TF have, and why does it matter?
The HU310TF features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating. This galvanized finish provides a layer of corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern and helping to extend the service life of the connection.
Can the HU310TF be installed with a concealed flange option?
Yes. The HUTF series, including the HU310TF, is available with one "A" flange concealed, which provides a cleaner aesthetic profile where the hanger is less visible after installation.
