The Simpson Double 2x8 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger in Stainless Steel is a heavy-duty joist hanger engineered for structural framing connections where both performance and appearance are critical. Designed to carry doubled 2x8 lumber members, this face-mount hanger delivers the additional strength and elevated safety factors demanded by heavy residential and commercial construction, while its concealed header flanges keep exposed framing looking clean and finished.

Key Features

• Concealed Header Flanges - Flanges stay hidden behind the header, producing clean visible lines in exposed framing conditions so structural hardware does not detract from the finished look.
• Heavy Face-Mount Design - Mounts directly to the face of the header for straightforward installation in joist-to-header connections requiring heavy-duty load capacity and higher safety margins.
• Double 2x8 Lumber Compatibility - Sized specifically for doubled 2x8 members, making it well suited for robust structural assemblies that a single joist configuration cannot adequately support.
• 14-Gauge Stainless Steel Construction - The 68 mil stainless steel material provides the corrosion resistance needed in demanding environments, supporting long-term structural integrity where moisture or corrosive conditions are present.
• Configurable Seat Options - Compatible models can be configured with a skewable seat or a seat that slopes up to 45 deg., giving builders flexibility to accommodate non-standard framing angles without sourcing a separate product.
• Simpson Engineered Quality - Produced by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors, and manufactured in the United States, this hanger meets the rigorous demands of heavy structural framing applications.

Why This Product

• Aesthetics Without Compromise - The concealed-flange design makes this hanger one of the few heavy-duty face-mount options that suits exposed framing conditions, so builders do not have to choose between structural performance and a clean finished appearance.
• Built for Corrosive Environments - Stainless steel construction makes this hanger appropriate for applications where standard galvanized hardware would degrade over time, protecting the connection's structural integrity for the life of the building.
• Right-Sized for Heavy Double-Joist Loads - Engineered specifically for double 2x8 lumber, this hanger addresses load requirements that exceed what a standard single-joist hanger can handle, making it a dependable choice for demanding residential and commercial framing projects.
• Flexible Configuration for Complex Framing - With available skewable and sloped seat options reaching up to 45 deg., this hanger adapts to angled framing layouts that rigid connectors cannot accommodate, reducing the need for custom fabrication on the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size is the HUC28-2SS designed to accommodate?

The HUC28-2SS is specifically designed to accommodate double 2x8 lumber members, making it suitable for robust structural connections that require a doubled joist configuration.

What material and gauge is the HUC28-2SS constructed from?

The HUC28-2SS is constructed from 14-gauge (68 mil) stainless steel, providing heavy-duty load capacity, durability, and outstanding corrosion resistance for demanding structural and exposed environments.

What does the "concealed-flange" design mean, and when is it beneficial?

The concealed-flange design means the header flanges are hidden from view once installed, resulting in cleaner, more finished visible lines. This is especially beneficial in exposed framing conditions where the appearance of the finished installation matters alongside structural performance.

Is the HUC28-2SS suitable for applications requiring extra strength beyond standard hangers?

Yes. The HUC28-2SS is a heavy face-mount hanger specifically engineered for structures that demand additional strength and enhanced safety factors beyond what standard joist hanger applications provide.
