The Simpson HUS210-2 HUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Double 2x10 is a structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications where higher load values are needed. Designed to support double 2x10 joists, rafters, or beams, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection by supporting the member from underneath - exactly where structural load demands it most. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is well suited for demanding framing applications where both strength and corrosion resistance are priorities.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving this hanger greater strength than standard single-shear alternatives and making it the right choice for higher-load structural connections.
• Requires fewer nails with standard nail compatibility - the double-shear nailing system allows for the use of fewer nails and the use of standard nails for all connections, reducing material cost and speeding up installation on the job site.
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for heavy framing applications, supporting double 2x10 members with a seat width of 3-1/8 in.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers an extra layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments over the long term.
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - keeping the hanger unmodified preserves its structural integrity and ensures the connection performs as rated, which matters for code-compliant installations.

Why This Product

• Built for high-load framing work - the HUS series is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are needed, making the HUS210-2 a dependable choice when a standard joist hanger is not enough for the job.
• Faster installation without sacrificing strength - the double-shear nailing system lets builders use fewer nails and standard nail sizes across all connections, cutting installation time without compromising the load-carrying capacity of the joint.
• Corrosion resistance built in from the factory - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra protection against moisture and environmental exposure, making this hanger a practical long-term solution for both interior and exposed framing conditions.
• Trusted Simpson engineering for double 2x10 applications - purpose-built for double 2x10 members, this hanger is part of a broad line of Simpson face-mount hangers covering a wide range of structural framing needs, giving builders a consistent, code-conscious connection solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HUS210-2 suitable for higher-load applications?

The HUS210-2 features double-shear nailing, which distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one. This design delivers greater strength compared to standard single-shear hangers, making the HUS series ideal for applications where higher load values are needed.

What nail size should be used to install the HUS210-2?

The HUS210-2 should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails. The double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails and the use of standard nails for all connections, speeding up the installation process.

Can the tabs on the HUS210-2 be bent or removed to fit a specific application?

No. The tabs on the HUS210-2 must not be bent or removed. This hanger cannot be modified in any way. Altering the hanger could compromise its structural integrity, load ratings, and code compliance.

What corrosion protection does the HUS210-2 offer?

The HUS210-2 is manufactured from 14-gauge steel and coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance. This makes it well suited for environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
