The Simpson HUC210-2TF HUCTF Top-Flange Concealed Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered for double 2x10 joist-to-header connections where a clean, low-profile result is a priority. Developed by Simpson Strong-Tie, the HUCTF series brings together the strengths of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs in a single connector, featuring two concealed flanges that keep the connection hidden and flush - making it a practical choice for end-of-wall and corner framing installations. Face-nailing capability allows the hanger to attach securely to the framing member, and the hanger accommodates slopes up to 45 deg. for angled framing applications. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this connector is tested, load rated, and code compliant for residential and light commercial structural framing.

Key Features

• Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the holding strength of face nailing with the low-profile benefit of a top-mount hanger, giving installers a versatile single connector for complex framing conditions
• Two concealed top flanges - keep the connection hidden and flush for a clean finished appearance, particularly valuable in end-of-wall and corner installations where exposed hardware is undesirable
• Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be fastened directly to the framing member for a secure, reliable connection without relying solely on top-flange engagement
• Accepts up to 45 deg. slope - provides flexibility for angled joist conditions without requiring a separate skewed hanger, though no skew options are available
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers heavy-duty structural performance suited to demanding load requirements in residential and light commercial framing
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up over time in moisture-exposed framing environments
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - the HUCTF series meets recognized standards, giving builders and inspectors confidence in the connection's structural integrity
• Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usability of the HUCTF design beyond standard nominal lumber dimensions for projects with non-standard member sizes

Why This Product

• One connector handles two installation challenges - the hybrid face-mount and top-mount design eliminates the need to source separate hangers for end-of-wall or corner framing conditions, simplifying procurement and installation for double 2x10 joist connections
• Concealed flanges deliver a cleaner structural connection - unlike standard face-mount hangers, the hidden top flanges sit out of sight once installed, making this hanger well suited to finish-sensitive framing where visible hardware is a concern
• Built-in slope flexibility without a specialty product - the ability to slope up to 45 deg. means contractors can address angled framing situations with a single, stock connector rather than sourcing a custom or skewed alternative
• Tested, rated, and code compliant out of the box - HUCTF-series hangers carry load ratings and comply with applicable codes, reducing the time spent on documentation and giving project stakeholders a straightforward path through inspection
