The Simpson HU610 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a structural connector from Simpson engineered specifically for nominal 6x10 lumber members in applications where additional strength and safety factors are required. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 Zinc Galvanized finish, this heavy-duty face-mount hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant - making it a trusted solution for engineers and contractors working on demanding structural framing projects, from deck construction to large floor and roof assemblies.

Key Features

• Extra optional triangle holes for additional load - gives you the flexibility to increase fastener count and achieve higher load ratings when your project demands it
• HU-series tested, load rated, and code compliant design - takes the guesswork out of structural compliance, so your installation meets building code requirements with confidence
• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - simplifies positioning during installation, reducing layout time and allowing adjustments without compromising connection integrity
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed to support substantial joist and beam loads in structural framing applications
• G90 Zinc Galvanized coating - delivers corrosion resistance for use in moisture-exposed environments, helping the hanger maintain its structural integrity over the long term
• 5-1/2 in. seat width sized for nominal 6x10 lumber - ensures a precise, secure fit for standard dimensional lumber without shimming or modification

Why This Product

• Engineered for heavy-duty structural demands - the HU610 is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the appropriate choice when standard-duty hangers are not sufficient for the load requirements of your framing project
• Built-in installation flexibility - the "U" design and optional triangle nail holes let installers adapt placement and load capacity to fit real-world framing conditions without sacrificing a code-compliant connection
• Manufactured to rigorous quality standards by Simpson - HU-series hangers are engineered and tested to perform, giving contractors and engineers confidence that the connector will behave as specified under load
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life - the G90 Zinc Galvanized coating makes this hanger suitable for framing in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, protecting your structural connection for the life of the building
