The Simpson 6 x 8 Top-Flange Face Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger engineered to deliver the structural advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs in a single connector. Built for 6x8 lumber, this galvanized steel hanger features a top-flange configuration combined with face-nailing capability, making it a reliable choice for demanding structural framing applications where a secure, rigid beam or joist connection is required.

Key Features

• Hybrid hanger design - combines the benefits of face-mount and top-mount styles in one product, reducing the need for compromise between installation method and structural performance.
• Top-flange configuration - the flange sits over the top of the supporting member, keeping the hanger properly aligned and simplifying placement during framing.
• Face-nailing capability - allows the hanger to be securely fastened to the framing member from the face, providing a rigid, stable connection in load-bearing assemblies.
• Sized for 6x8 lumber - interior dimensions are matched specifically to cradle a standard 6x8 joist or beam, ensuring a proper, snug fit without modification.
• 12-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material delivers the strength needed for demanding structural framing tasks where lighter-duty hangers fall short.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides a protective barrier against corrosion and moisture-related degradation, supporting long-term structural integrity in moisture-prone environments.
• Made in the United States - domestic production supports consistent quality standards expected in professional structural framing applications.

Why This Product

• Two hanger styles, one solution - the hybrid top-flange and face-mount design means installers gain the alignment advantage of a top-mount hanger and the secure attachment of a face-mount hanger without choosing between them.
• Built for a specific lumber size - designed precisely for 6x8 members, this hanger eliminates the guesswork of sizing and ensures a structurally sound fit right out of the box.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating helps protect against rust and oxidation, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing in areas exposed to humidity or moisture.
• Heavy-gauge construction for demanding applications - the 12-gauge steel body is suited for structural connections where load capacity and rigidity are non-negotiable requirements.

What makes the HU68TF a hybrid hanger?

The HU68TF is considered a hybrid hanger because it combines the benefits of both face-mount and top-mount hanger styles. It features a top flange that sits over the top of the supporting member while also providing face-nailing points for a secure, rigid attachment - giving installers the structural advantages of both hanger types in one product.

What lumber size is the HU68TF designed to support?

The HU68TF is specifically designed for 6x8 lumber. Its interior width of 5.5 inches and height of 7 1/8 inches are sized to properly cradle and support a standard 6x8 joist or beam.

What type of coating does the HU68TF have, and why does it matter?

The HU68TF features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating. This galvanized finish provides a protective barrier against corrosion and oxidation, making the hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern and helping to ensure long-term structural integrity.
