The Simpson 6 x 12 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered by Simpson to deliver secure, reliable connections for nominal 6x12 lumber members in demanding structural framing applications. By combining the attachment method of a face-mount hanger with the bearing surface of a top-flange design, this hanger gives builders and contractors a single, versatile connector that adapts to a wide range of beam and joist installation scenarios - from floor framing to roof structures where dependable load transfer is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Hybrid HUTF hanger design - combines face-mount and top-flange construction in one connector, reducing the need for separate hardware and simplifying complex framing connections.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength required for heavy 6x12 framing members, giving contractors confidence in high-load residential and commercial applications.
• Face-nailing attachment method - allows the hanger to be firmly secured directly to the header member, providing a tight, stable connection that resists movement during and after installation.
• Top-flange bearing surface - creates positive bearing support for the carried member, distributing load evenly and improving overall connection performance at the joist-to-header interface.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a durable zinc barrier against rust and corrosion, making this hanger appropriate for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Sized precisely for 6x12 lumber - the internal dimensions are engineered to properly seat nominal 6x12 joists and beams, ensuring a snug fit that maintains alignment throughout the structure's service life.
• Made in the United States - produced domestically under Simpson's quality standards, supporting consistent manufacturing tolerances across every connector in the HUTF series.

Why This Product

• One connector, two installation advantages - the hybrid face-mount and top-flange configuration means contractors get the secure header attachment of a face-mount hanger and the positive bearing support of a top-mount hanger without having to source two separate products.
• Built for heavy structural loads - 12-gauge steel construction makes this hanger a dependable choice when working with large 6x12 framing members in load-bearing floor, deck, or roof assemblies where connection integrity is critical.
• Corrosion resistance for long-term performance - the Zinc Galvanized G90 coating helps protect the hanger against rust in moisture-prone environments, supporting the durability of the overall framing system over time.
• Trusted Simpson engineering - as part of Simpson's HUTF hanger series, this connector reflects the same design discipline applied across the brand's broad lineup of structural connectors, giving specifiers and installers a familiar, well-documented product to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HU612TF a "hybrid" hanger?

The HU612TF belongs to Simpson's HUTF hanger series, which is described as a hybrid because it incorporates the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs into a single product. This means it can be face-nailed to a header member like a traditional face-mount hanger while also providing a top-flange bearing surface like a top-mount hanger.

What size lumber is the HU612TF designed to support?

The HU612TF is specifically sized for 6x12 lumber members. Its internal width of 5.5 inches and height of 11 inches are dimensioned to properly seat and support nominal 6x12 joists or beams.

What type of corrosion protection does the HU612TF have?

The HU612TF features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, which provides a layer of zinc protection against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

What gauge steel is used in the HU612TF?

The HU612TF is constructed from 12-gauge steel, which qualifies it as a heavy-duty hanger capable of handling the substantial loads associated with 6x12 framing members in structural applications.
