Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HUC28-2TF is a heavy-duty hybrid joist hanger that brings together the structural benefits of both face-mount and top-mount designs in a single connector. Built for end-of-wall or corner framing applications, it features two concealed top flanges that keep the connection tight and visually unobtrusive while face-nailing secures the hanger firmly to the header member. Sized for a nominal double 2x8 joist and formed from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, this concealed-flange hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant - delivering the reliability structural framing demands.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the holding power of face-nailing with the clean profile of a concealed top flange, so you get both structural performance and a low-profile finish in one connector
- Two concealed top flanges - purpose-built for end-of-wall and corner installations where a standard face-mount hanger would be exposed or impractical
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed for load-bearing double-joist connections in structural framing
- Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - offers corrosion resistance to help the hanger hold up in demanding framing environments over the long term
- Slopes up to 45 deg. - gives framers flexibility to accommodate non-level framing conditions without needing a separate sloped hanger
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - meets the documentation and compliance requirements inspectors and structural engineers look for on the job site
- Face-nailing attachment method - allows secure, straightforward installation into the header member using standard structural nails
Why This Product
- One hanger, two design advantages - the HUCTF hybrid construction means you do not have to choose between a face-mount or top-mount hanger; this connector delivers the benefits of both in corner and end-of-wall framing situations where a conventional hanger falls short
- Concealed flanges keep connections clean and compliant - the top flanges tuck out of sight for a low-profile installation, making this hanger well suited for finish-sensitive framing applications without sacrificing load-rated performance
- Built-in slope capability - accommodating up to 45 deg. of slope, this hanger handles real-world framing conditions that a rigid, fixed connector cannot, reducing the need for special workarounds on angled assemblies
- Backed by Simpson Strong-Tie testing and code compliance - the HUCTF series is independently tested and load rated, giving contractors, engineers, and inspectors the documented confidence they need for structural double 2x8 joist connections
