The Simpson HUC414 Galvanized Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Its face-mount design connects 4x14 wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete headers, while concealed header flanges keep visible lines clean and unobtrusive in exposed framing conditions. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant, making it a dependable solution for both residential and commercial construction where structural integrity and finished appearance both matter.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - tuck out of sight behind the header for cleaner visible lines, making this hanger well-suited to exposed framing where aesthetics count
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow additional nailing points when higher load capacity is needed, giving installers flexibility to meet demanding load requirements
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity required for heavy members and applications calling for additional strength and safety factors
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance over lighter coatings, extending service life in moisture-prone environments
• Connects to wood, masonry, and concrete headers - offers broad installation versatility across a wide range of structural substrates without needing a different hanger
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - the HUC series meets recognized code standards, giving builders and inspectors confidence in every connection
• 3-9/16 in. seat width for a 4x14 nominal joist - precisely sized to cradle the member securely and ensure consistent, correctly positioned bearing

Why This Product

• Built for demanding structural conditions - the HUC414 is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the appropriate choice when a standard hanger is not enough for the application
• Appearance-conscious heavy-duty performance - the concealed-flange design delivers the load capacity of a heavy face-mount hanger while maintaining clean, professional-looking lines in exposed framing where visible hardware is undesirable
• Verified performance backed by testing and code compliance - HUC-series hangers are tested and load rated, so contractors can specify this connector with confidence and move through inspections without uncertainty about its ratings
• Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 galvanized coating provides a higher level of zinc protection than lighter designations, helping the connector hold up over time in environments where moisture is a factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist is the HUC414 designed to support?

The HUC414 is designed for a nominal joist size of 4x14, with a seat width of 3-9/16 in. to properly cradle and support the joist member.

What nails are required to install the HUC414?

Installation requires (18-24) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (8-12) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the joist. Using the correct nail specifications is essential to achieve the rated load capacity.

What does the G90 galvanized coating mean for corrosion resistance?

The G90 designation refers to a zinc galvanized coating that provides extra corrosion resistance compared to lighter coatings, making the HUC414 suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

What is the benefit of the concealed-flange design on the HUC414?

The concealed header flanges are designed to tuck behind the header, providing cleaner visible lines when the framing is exposed. This makes the HUC414 a preferred choice for architecturally exposed structural conditions where aesthetics matter alongside performance.
