The Simpson HUC26-2 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Built to accept double 2x6 lumber, this face-mount joist hanger features concealed header flanges that keep mounting hardware hidden from view, delivering cleaner visible lines in exposed framing conditions. Whether you are connecting wood joists to wood framing, masonry, or concrete, this hanger is designed to perform where structural integrity and finished appearance both matter.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep the mounting hardware out of sight in exposed conditions, so the finished framing looks clean and professional without sacrificing connection strength
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow additional fasteners to be added where higher load capacity is needed, giving installers flexibility to meet demanding structural requirements
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant (HUC-series) - provides verified performance data and code-ready documentation, simplifying inspections and giving you confidence in the connection
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - broadens the range of framing situations this single hanger can handle, reducing the need to source multiple connector types
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty thickness needed for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors beyond standard joist hanger applications
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• Built for demanding structural conditions - the HUC26-2 is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the right choice when a standard hanger is not sufficient for the load or application
• Aesthetics and performance in one connector - the concealed header flange design handles the structural work while keeping the hardware hidden, a combination that matters in exposed or finished framing where appearance is part of the result
• Versatile substrate compatibility - approved for installation into wood, masonry, and concrete structures, this hanger adapts to a wide range of jobsite conditions without requiring a different product for each substrate type
• Code-compliant and independently tested - HUC-series hangers are tested and load rated, so builders and inspectors have reliable performance data to work from rather than relying on estimates
