Product Description
The Simpson HUC66TF HUCTF Top-Flange Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty hybrid connector engineered to combine the structural reliability of face-mount hangers with the clean installation profile of top-mount hangers. Built for nominal 6x6 lumber, this hanger features two concealed flanges that make it the practical choice for end-of-wall and corner framing applications where exposed hardware is not suitable. Face-nailing capability ensures a secure, rigid attachment to the supporting member, while 12-gauge steel construction and a G90 zinc galvanized finish deliver lasting performance in demanding structural framing projects.
Key Features
- Hybrid face-mount and top-mount design - combines the strengths of both hanger types into a single connector, giving framers greater flexibility without sacrificing load capacity or structural integrity
- Two concealed flanges - keep hardware hidden from view at end-of-wall or corner installations, producing a cleaner finish where exposed flanges are not acceptable
- Face-nailing attachment - allows the hanger to be securely fastened to the supporting member using standard nailing techniques, simplifying installation on the job site
- Supports slopes up to 45 deg. - accommodates angled framing conditions without requiring a separate sloped hanger, reducing the need for additional connectors
- 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength required for load-bearing structural connections involving nominal 6x6 joist and beam members
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers reliable corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for interior framing applications where long-term durability is a priority
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets recognized performance standards without additional verification steps
- Rough beam sizes available by special order - provides flexibility when project requirements fall outside standard nominal dimensions
Why This Product
- A single hanger that solves two installation challenges - the HUCTF hybrid design brings together face-mount and top-mount functionality in one connector, eliminating the need to source separate hangers for different framing conditions involving 6x6 members
- Purpose-built for concealed-flange applications - the two concealed flanges are specifically engineered for end-of-wall and corner framing scenarios where a conventional hanger with visible flanges would be structurally or aesthetically problematic
- Slope-ready without additional hardware - with support for angles up to 45 deg., this connector handles angled joist connections that would otherwise require a specialty sloped hanger, keeping the framing process efficient
- Backed by testing and code compliance - as a load-rated, code-compliant connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, the HUC66TF is a dependable choice for structural framing projects where verified performance and inspector approval matter
