Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - makes installation more adaptable to various framing conditions, reducing the need for precise pre-positioning and saving time on the job.
• Engineered for nominal 6x6 lumber - ensures a proper, code-compliant fit for heavy-duty structural connections involving 6x6 joists or beams without improvising or modifying the hanger.
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural integrity required for applications where additional strength and safety factors are specified, holding up under heavy loads.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides an elevated level of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its structural integrity in moisture-prone or demanding environments over the long term.
