The Simpson HUC26-3 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger for Triple 2x6 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors. Its concealed header flanges keep attachment hardware hidden from view, delivering cleaner visible lines in exposed framing conditions where both structural integrity and appearance matter. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this face-mount joist hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant - ready to connect triple 2x6 wood joists to wood, masonry, or concrete with confidence.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - hide the mounting flanges behind the header for cleaner, more finished-looking exposed framing without sacrificing load performance
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed for structures with elevated load and safety requirements
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the hanger in moisture-prone or outdoor framing environments
• 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 - the HUC-series meets recognized standards, so engineers and contractors can spec it with confidence on permitted projects
• Installs to wood, masonry, and concrete - broad substrate compatibility makes this hanger suitable across a wide range of residential and commercial framing applications
• 4-11/16 in. seat width sized for triple 2x6 members - precisely matches the triple-member assembly for a secure, properly cradled connection without modification

Why This Product

• Strength where standard hangers fall short - the HUC series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the right choice when a standard-duty hanger is not enough for the job
• Aesthetics built into the engineering - the concealed-flange design is not an afterthought; it is a core feature that keeps exposed beam and joist connections looking intentional and professional without any extra trim work
• Versatile substrate compatibility - whether the header is wood, masonry, or concrete, this hanger is rated and approved for all three, reducing the need to source different connectors for different parts of a project
• Made in the United States to Simpson standards - backed by Simpson's engineering and testing process, the HUC26-3 is load rated and code compliant, supporting smoother inspection approvals on residential and commercial framing projects
