Product Description
The Simpson HUC312TF HUCTF Concealed Top-Flange Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered for 3x12 nominal lumber in structural framing applications where a clean, concealed connection is required. Combining the advantages of both face-mount and top-mount hanger designs, this Simpson Strong-Tie hanger features two concealed flanges purpose-built for end-of-wall or corner installation. Face-nailing capability allows the hanger to be securely attached to the member, delivering a rigid, dependable connection suited to demanding construction conditions.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - delivers the structural benefits of both hanger types in a single connector, giving framers greater installation flexibility at end-of-wall and corner positions
- Two concealed flanges - keep the connection tidy and out of sight, making this hanger well suited to finish-sensitive or architecturally exposed framing applications
- Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be securely fastened directly to the structural member, producing a firm, load-rated connection
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the strength and rigidity needed for heavy-duty framing loads on 3x12 joists and beams
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance that helps the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments
- Slope capability up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled installations without requiring a separate hanger, reducing the need for additional hardware on sloped-roof or cathedral-ceiling framing
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives contractors and inspectors confidence that the hanger meets verified structural performance standards
- Rough beam sizes available by special order - extends the usefulness of the HUCTF series to non-standard timber dimensions when project requirements call for it
Why This Product
- One hanger, two installation advantages - the hybrid face-mount and top-mount design means this single connector handles scenarios where a conventional face-mount or top-flange hanger alone would fall short, particularly at end-of-wall and corner framing positions
- Built and rated for structural confidence - HUCTF-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant, so the connection carries verified capacity rather than relying on guesswork or field improvisation
- Corrosion-resistant from the start - the G90 galvanized coating is applied at the manufacturing stage, providing durable protection in framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Slope-ready without extra parts - the ability to slope up to 45 deg. is built into the hanger design, reducing the need to source specialty hardware for angled joist installations in roof framing or other sloped structural applications
