The Simpson HUCQ612SS-SDS Heavy Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is built for structural framing applications where additional strength and elevated safety factors are non-negotiable. Engineered to accept a nominal 6x12 joist member, this face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges that deliver cleaner, more finished lines in exposed framing conditions - equally suited for architecturally visible timber framing as it is for demanding heavy structural work. Its design allows installation close to the end of the supporting beam, adding flexibility in tight or complex framing layouts. Fabricated from 14-gauge stainless steel, this hanger is rated for high and severe corrosion environments, making it a trusted choice for coastal construction, pressure-treated lumber assemblies, and outdoor exposed framing. Each hanger ships complete with Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, so you can move straight to installation with no predrilling required.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - provide cleaner lines in exposed framing conditions, eliminating the visual disruption of traditional surface flanges in finished or architecturally visible installations
• Face-mount design with close-to-end installation capability - allows the hanger to be positioned near the end of the supporting beam, giving framers more flexibility in tight structural layouts
• 14-gauge stainless-steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty wall thickness needed for high-load structural connections while resisting corrosion in the most demanding environments
• Rated for high and severe corrosion resistance - stainless-steel material makes this hanger appropriate for coastal, saltwater-adjacent, and pressure-treated lumber applications where standard galvanized products fall short
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUCQ-series hangers carry verified load ratings, giving engineers, inspectors, and contractors confidence in the connection for permitted structural work
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - versatile installation options allow this hanger to be used across a wider range of structural assemblies and building types
• Includes Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - the correct fasteners arrive with the hanger and install without predrilling, reducing labor time and eliminating the need to source separate hardware

Why This Product

• A complete, ready-to-install connection - the included Type 316 stainless-steel Strong-Drive SDS screws are the correct fasteners for this hanger right out of the box, with no predrilling needed, so installation begins immediately without additional trips for hardware
• Stainless steel rated for the harshest corrosion conditions - where standard finishes fail, this hanger is specifically designed for high and severe corrosion environments, making it the appropriate choice for coastal builds, marine-adjacent structures, and applications involving pressure-treated lumber
• Structural performance without compromising appearance - the concealed-flange design handles heavy structural loads on 6x12 members while keeping exposed framing looking clean and intentional, a combination that matters on timber-frame and visible-beam projects
• Engineered flexibility for real job-site conditions - the ability to install close to the end of the supporting beam, combined with compatibility across wood, masonry, and concrete headers, means this hanger adapts to a wider range of structural scenarios without requiring a different product
