Product Description
The Simpson 3 x 4 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a hybrid joist hanger engineered to deliver the combined structural benefits of both face-mount and top-mount installation in a single galvanized connector. Designed specifically for 3x4 dimensional lumber, this hanger features a top flange for accurate positioning along the header and face-nailing capability for a secure, load-bearing connection - making it a reliable choice for structural framing applications where both strength and installation flexibility are priorities.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the positioning advantage of a top flange with the holding strength of face-nailing, reducing the need for two separate connector types in demanding framing assemblies
- Sized specifically for 3x4 lumber - the seat and width are matched to standard 3x4 dimensional members, ensuring a proper fit and consistent load transfer without field modification
- Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance in moisture-prone environments, helping maintain structural integrity over the life of the installation
- Optional concealed flange configuration - one "A" flange can be installed concealed, giving builders a cleaner finished appearance where the connection will be visible in the completed structure
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers heavy-duty load-bearing performance suited for structural framing connections that require durable, code-compliant hardware
Why This Product
- One hanger, two installation methods - the hybrid top-flange and face-mount design eliminates the trade-off between positioning ease and nailing strength, giving framers a versatile connector that works across a wider range of job-site conditions
- Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized coating is suited for projects where long-term moisture resistance matters, making this hanger a practical choice for both interior framing and applications in damp or humid environments
- Precision fit for 3x4 framing - a hanger sized exactly to its intended lumber dimension reduces installation guesswork and helps ensure consistent structural performance from connection to connection
- Flexible finish options - the ability to conceal one flange means this connector adapts to projects where aesthetics are a consideration, without sacrificing the structural function of the joint

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lumber is the HU34TF designed to support?
The HU34TF is specifically designed for use with 3x4 dimensional lumber, providing a properly sized seat and width to accommodate that joist or beam size.
What makes the HUTF series a "hybrid" hanger?
The HUTF series is considered a hybrid hanger because it combines the benefits of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs. It features a top flange for positioning along the top of the header while also incorporating face-nailing to securely attach the hanger to the framing member.
What coating does the HU34TF have, and why does it matter?
The HU34TF features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides a protective layer against corrosion. This makes the hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture resistance is an important consideration for long-term structural integrity.
Can the HU34TF be installed with a concealed flange?
Yes. The HU34TF is available with one "A" flange concealed, offering additional installation flexibility when a cleaner or less visible connection is desired in the finished framing.
