The Simpson HUS212-2TF HUS Galvanized Top-Flange Joist Hanger for Double 2x12 is a heavy-duty face-mount hanger engineered for applications where higher load values are required. Designed to cradle and support double 2x12 joists, rafters, or beams from below, this top-flange hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection in demanding structural framing situations. Its 14-gauge steel construction and G90 zinc galvanized finish make it well-suited for tough job-site conditions, while its double-shear nailing design streamlines installation without sacrificing performance.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater connection strength and a more secure structural joint
• Fewer nails required, standard nails accepted - reduces material and labor time, so installers can complete connections faster using common fasteners already on hand
• Top-flange design - sits over the carrying member for a face-mount installation that keeps the hanger firmly positioned and the joist properly seated
• 3-1/8 in. seat width for double 2x12 members - precisely sized to fit a nominal double 2x12 joist, rafter, or beam without modification
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed to handle higher load demands in heavy framing applications
• Zinc Galvanized finish - G90 coating delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed or treated-lumber environments
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the factory tab configuration maintains the hanger's rated performance and ensures a code-compliant connection

Why This Product

• Built for higher-load framing connections - the HUS series is specifically designed for applications where standard hangers fall short, making this hanger a dependable choice when structural loads demand more from the connection
• Double-shear nailing speeds up installation without trading away strength - by distributing force across two shear planes per nail, this design lets you use fewer fasteners while achieving a stronger, more efficient joint than single-shear alternatives
• G90 galvanized coating for long-term corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic protection, making this joist hanger suitable for pressure-treated lumber and other corrosive framing environments where an uncoated hanger would degrade over time
• American-made Simpson quality in a ready-to-install format - packaged as a single hanger and manufactured to Simpson's engineering standards, this face-mount connector is a straightforward, professional-grade solution for double 2x12 beam and joist framing

Frequently Asked Questions

What joist size is the HUS212-2TF designed for?

The HUS212-2TF is designed for a nominal joist size of Double 2x12, with a seat width of 3-1/8 in.

What type of nails should be used to install this hanger?

This hanger should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails. Use all specified fasteners to ensure a proper, load-rated connection.

What does double-shear nailing mean and why does it matter?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, resulting in greater connection strength. This design also allows for the use of fewer nails and standard nails for all connections, making installation faster and more efficient.

How is the HUS212-2TF protected against corrosion?

The hanger is coated with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding construction environments.
