Product Description
The Simpson HU36TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger for 3x6 is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered to deliver the combined advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs in a single connector. Built by Simpson Strong-Tie, this top-flange hanger is purpose-built for structural wood-frame construction where maximum down loads must be achieved with a minimum number of fasteners. Its face-nailing attachment method allows the hanger to be securely fixed to the framing member, making it a dependable solution for demanding load-transfer applications in residential and commercial construction alike.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the strengths of both hanger types in one connector, giving installers greater flexibility without sacrificing structural performance
- Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be securely attached to the member, reducing installation complexity while maintaining a strong, reliable connection
- Skews up to 45 deg. and slopes downward up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled framing conditions, making this hanger suitable for complex roof and floor framing layouts
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides heavy-duty strength suited for structural load-bearing applications where connector integrity is critical
- Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in moisture-prone framing environments
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUTF-series hangers meet recognized code standards, giving builders and inspectors confidence in verified structural performance
- Rough beam sizes available by special order - expands compatibility beyond standard sizing for projects that require non-standard lumber dimensions
Why This Product
- One hanger, two installation advantages - the hybrid design merges face-mount and top-mount functionality into a single connector, reducing the need to source separate hardware for different framing conditions and simplifying jobsite inventory
- Maximum load transfer with fewer fasteners - engineered to provide maximum down loads with a minimum number of fasteners, this hanger helps speed up installation without compromising the structural integrity of the connection
- Built-in versatility for angled framing - with skew and slope capacity of up to 45 deg. in either direction, this joist hanger handles the non-standard angles common in hip roofs, sloped floors, and complex timber framing without requiring custom fabrication
- Independently verified for structural applications - as a tested and load-rated connector in the HUTF series, this hanger supports code-compliant construction and provides the documented performance data that inspectors and engineers require on professional projects
