The Simpson HU3511 HU Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector purpose-built for engineered wood members measuring 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. Designed by Simpson Strong-Tie for applications where additional strength and safety factors are required, this hanger delivers reliable load transfer in demanding framing projects. Engineered and tested to the highest quality standards, it is a trusted choice among contractors and engineers working on residential and commercial structures alike.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you adjust positioning during installation, reducing the risk of misalignment and saving time on the job.
• Sized for an actual joist of 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. - ensures a precise, snug fit for engineered lumber of that dimension, supporting solid load transfer at every connection point.
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed in structural framing where standard hangers may not meet load or code requirements.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in moisture-prone environments and extending the service life of the connection.
• Manufactured in the United States to consistent quality standards - means every unit is built to the same engineered specifications that professionals rely on for structural integrity.

Why This Product

• Built for engineered wood framing - the HU3511 is specifically sized for engineered lumber at 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in., making it a direct, purpose-fit solution rather than a generic approximation, which matters when structural precision is non-negotiable.
• Heavy-duty performance where it counts - the 14-gauge steel body and face-mount design are engineered for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, giving you a hanger that meets higher performance demands than standard light-gauge options.
• Corrosion resistance built into every unit - the G90 galvanized finish protects the steel in conditions where moisture exposure could compromise a lesser connector, supporting long-term structural reliability without extra treatment on your part.
• A connector engineers and contractors already specify - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are a recognized choice in professional construction, so using the HU3511 aligns your project with a connector that is tested, code-compatible, and widely accepted in structural applications.
