• Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included - no separate fastener purchase required, and no predrilling needed, reducing installation time and labor
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - one hanger works across multiple substrate types, adding flexibility to a wide range of framing scenarios
• Can be installed close to the end of the supporting beam - allows placement in tight or constrained framing layouts where other hangers may not fit
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers heavy-duty strength and rigidity suited to structures with elevated load requirements
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides corrosion resistance to help maintain structural integrity in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
