Product Description
The Simpson HU48TF HUTF Galvanized Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered to connect 4x8 nominal lumber members with maximum downward load capacity using a minimum number of fasteners. Built by Simpson, this hanger bridges the gap between face-mount and top-mount designs, delivering the structural advantages of both in a single fitting. Whether you are tackling deck framing, floor systems, or other demanding structural applications, the HUTF series provides a reliable, code-compliant connection where strength and installation flexibility matter most.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the benefits of both hanger styles in one fitting, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types for different job conditions
- Skewable up to 45 deg. and slopeable downward up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled and non-square framing conditions without requiring special-order components for common field variations
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed to handle heavy downward loads in demanding framing assemblies
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well suited for moisture-exposed framing environments where long-term durability is critical
- Fits nominal 4x8 joists with a 3-9/16 in. seat width - sized precisely for standard dimensional lumber, ensuring a snug, load-rated fit right out of the box
- HUTF-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets recognized structural standards without additional verification burden
- Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usefulness of this hanger to non-standard timber dimensions when project conditions require it
Why This Product
- One hanger, two design advantages - the hybrid construction merges face-nailing attachment with top-flange support, so you get the holding strength of a face-mount hanger and the bearing surface of a top-mount hanger in a single 12-gauge fitting
- Built-in installation flexibility - with skew and slope capability up to 45 deg. in either direction, this joist hanger handles the real-world framing angles that straight-set hangers cannot, reducing the need for field modifications or workarounds
- Engineered for high-load performance with fewer fasteners - the HUTF design is specifically intended to achieve maximum downward load ratings while keeping the fastener count low, saving installation time without sacrificing structural integrity
- Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing applications exposed to moisture, humidity, or outdoor conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HU48TF a hybrid hanger?
The HU48TF is a hybrid hanger because it incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hangers. This dual-design approach allows it to deliver maximum downward loads while using a minimum number of fasteners, offering greater flexibility and structural performance on the job site.
Can the HU48TF be installed at an angle?
Yes. The HU48TF can be skewed a maximum of 45 deg. or sloped downward to a maximum of 45 deg., making it suitable for angled framing conditions where a standard straight installation is not possible.
What fasteners are required to install the HU48TF?
Install with (12) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (4) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the joist for a proper, load-rated connection.
Is the HU48TF suitable for corrosive or outdoor environments?
The HU48TF features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it well suited for environments where moisture or corrosive conditions are a concern.
