The Simpson HUCQ310SS-SDS is a heavy-duty, 14-gauge stainless steel face-mount joist hanger engineered for 3x10 structural framing connections that demand both exceptional load capacity and long-term corrosion resistance. Built around a concealed header flange design and packaged with Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws sized 1/4 x 2-1/2, this hanger is purpose-built for demanding residential and commercial framing applications where strength, fit, and material durability are critical requirements.

Key Features

• 14-Gauge Stainless Steel Construction - Delivers the structural integrity required for heavy-duty framing connections while providing reliable corrosion resistance in high-moisture or chemically aggressive environments.
• Concealed Header Flanges - Fit within the supporting structure for a clean, integrated installation, making this hanger well-suited for applications where exposed flanges are undesirable.
• Face-Mount Design - Allows installation directly against the face of the supporting member, including positions close to the end of a supporting beam where other hanger types may not be appropriate.
• Includes SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws (1/4 x 2-1/2) - The included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS screws are engineered for high-capacity connections and install without predrilling, reducing labor time and simplifying the fastening process on the job site.
• Approved for Corrosive and High-Moisture Environments - The stainless steel finish makes this hanger a code-appropriate choice for exterior, coastal, and other applications where standard galvanized hardware would be insufficient.

Why This Product

• No-Predrill Installation - The included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS screws drive without predrilling, which speeds up installation on structural framing projects and reduces the number of tools needed on site.
• Built for Corrosive Conditions - Stainless steel construction makes this hanger a dependable long-term solution in high-moisture, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where corrosion resistance is a specification requirement, not just a preference.
• Designed for End-of-Beam and Tight-Clearance Installations - The face-mount configuration with concealed header flanges supports use cases close to the end of a supporting beam, giving contractors flexibility in structural layouts that other hanger profiles cannot accommodate.
• Heavy-Duty Performance for Residential and Commercial Framing - With 14-gauge construction and approval for structural framing connections requiring additional strength and elevated safety factors, this hanger is suited for a wide range of demanding joist and beam connection applications.
