The Simpson 3 x 12 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered to unite the structural strengths of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs in a single connector. Sized specifically for 3x12 dimensional lumber, this 12-gauge galvanized hanger uses face-nailing to create a secure, reliable connection to the framing member while its top flange bears directly on the header - giving contractors and builders a dependable solution for demanding residential and commercial framing applications where connection integrity is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - delivers the structural reliability of both hanger styles in one connector, reducing the need for multiple hanger types on a single job.
• Top-flange construction with 2-1/2 in. flange - provides solid bearing support at the top of the header, improving load transfer and keeping the joist properly positioned during and after installation.
• Face-nailing configuration - allows the hanger to be fastened directly to the framing member for a secure, straightforward attachment that suits a wide range of framing layouts.
• Available with one "A" flange concealed - accommodates tight framing conditions or installations where a cleaner, less visible profile is preferred without sacrificing structural performance.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides substantial strength and rigidity suitable for the load demands associated with 3x12 lumber in structural framing applications.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use with treated lumber and in moisture-prone environments where bare steel would degrade over time.
• Made in the United States - manufactured to consistent quality standards, supporting confidence in dimensional accuracy and material integrity across every unit.

Why This Product

• Two connection methods, one hanger - the hybrid HUTF design combines top-flange bearing with face-nailing in a single connector, so builders get the positional stability of a top-mount hanger and the direct-fastening security of a face-mount hanger without compromise.
• Built for 3x12 framing with precision fit - engineered specifically for 3x12 dimensional lumber, this hanger properly cradles the joist and maintains correct alignment, reducing the risk of installation errors that can affect structural performance.
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life - the G90 zinc galvanized coating protects against moisture and chemical exposure common in treated-lumber applications, keeping the connection reliable over the long term.
• Flexible flange configuration for cleaner installs - the option to conceal one "A" flange makes this hanger adaptable to aesthetic requirements and tight framing conditions, broadening its usefulness across different project types.
