Simpson HUCQ Heavy Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2x10 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for applications that demand additional strength and safety factors beyond standard hanger performance. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges that keep hardware hidden for cleaner lines in exposed structural conditions. It installs close to the end of the supporting beam and connects double 2x10 wood joists to wood, masonry, or concrete - all without predrilling, thanks to the included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep mounting hardware out of sight, delivering cleaner lines for exposed structural conditions where appearance matters
• Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel construction - provides the additional strength and load capacity required in demanding structural applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers reliable corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for moisture-prone environments
• No predrilling required - the included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws drive fast and clean, reducing installation time and labor
• Strong-Drive SDS screws included - hardware arrives ready to install, eliminating the need to source fasteners separately
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - the HUCQ series meets structural code requirements, giving builders and inspectors confidence in every installation
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - versatile enough to handle a wide range of structural substrates on a single jobsite

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-demand structures - designed specifically for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors, this hanger goes beyond what a standard face-mount connector provides, making it the right choice when structural loads call for greater capacity
• Faster installation with no predrilling - the included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are engineered for direct drive installation, so crews spend less time on prep and more time moving the project forward
• Clean, professional finish in exposed framing - concealed flanges hide the header hardware, making this hanger a practical solution for exposed beam and ceiling conditions where visible fasteners would be unacceptable
• Broad substrate compatibility - the ability to connect double 2x10 joists to wood, masonry, and concrete gives contractors a single, proven connector that works across multiple structural configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HUCQ210-2-SDS different from a standard joist hanger?

The HUCQ210-2-SDS features concealed header flanges, which keep the mounting hardware hidden for cleaner lines in exposed structural conditions. It is also built from 14-gauge steel and is designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors beyond what standard hangers provide.

Does this hanger require predrilling for installation?

No predrilling is required. The included Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are designed to drive directly into the wood, masonry, or concrete substrate, making installation faster and easier.

What fasteners are needed to install this hanger, and are they included?

Installation requires (12) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. SDS screws in the header and (6) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. SDS screws in the joist. All 18 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included with the hanger.

Is the HUCQ210-2-SDS suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments?

The hanger is finished with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating, which provides corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for applications where moisture exposure is a concern. It is tested, load rated, and code compliant as part of the HUCQ series.
