The Simpson 4 x 9-1/2 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty framing connector built for structural applications where load capacity and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Designed as a face-mount hanger, it secures joists directly to a header or beam face, delivering a strong, stable connection suited for demanding residential and commercial framing projects. With its durable galvanized finish and robust steel construction, this hanger is a dependable choice for builders and contractors who need proven performance in critical connections.

Key Features

• Face-mount design - attaches directly to the face of a header or beam, creating a reliable, load-transferring connection that simplifies installation and maintains structural alignment
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed for applications with elevated load and safety factor requirements, giving builders confidence in high-demand framing conditions
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers reliable corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain structural integrity in demanding environments over the long term
• Skewable seat configuration available - select models can be configured with a skewable seat and seat slope capability of up to 45 deg., making this hanger adaptable for angled or non-standard framing conditions
• Simpson engineering and domestic production - manufactured to consistent quality standards, giving contractors a trusted connector from a recognized structural hardware brand

Why This Product

• Built for elevated structural demands - the heavy-duty, 14-gauge steel face-mount design is specifically engineered for framing scenarios that call for greater strength and higher safety factors, reducing risk in critical load-bearing connections
• Corrosion protection you can count on - the G90 zinc galvanized coating is not a minimal baseline finish; it is a recognized standard for reliable corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for tough job-site and service environments
• Flexible configuration for real-world framing conditions - the availability of skewable seat options and seat slopes up to 45 deg. means this hanger can adapt to angled framing situations that a fixed connector cannot accommodate, reducing the need for field fabrication
• A Simpson product with a documented fit - the precisely defined dimensions and model specifications make it straightforward to verify the right fit for your framing members before installation, minimizing costly errors on the job
