Product Description
The Simpson HUS28-2 HUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Double 2x8 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered specifically for applications where higher load values are needed. Designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam, this face-mount hanger creates a strong, reliable connection for double 2x8 lumber framing. Its double-shear nailing technology distributes load through two points on each joist nail, setting it apart from standard hangers and making it a dependable choice for demanding structural framing projects.
Key Features
- Double-shear nailing geometry - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength and structural integrity compared to single-shear designs
- Compatible with standard nails for all connections - eliminates the need for specialty fasteners, so you spend less time sourcing hardware and more time building
- Fewer nails required and faster installation - reduces labor time on the job without sacrificing connection performance
- Built from 14-gauge steel - provides the heavy-gauge construction necessary to handle higher load demands in structural framing applications
- Zinc galvanized finish (G90) - adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments
- Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the hanger in its original form maintains its rated load capacity and ensures code-compliant installation
Why This Product
- Built for higher-load applications - the HUS series is specifically designed for framing situations where standard hangers fall short, making this hanger a practical upgrade when load demands require it
- Simplified installation without compromising strength - double-shear nailing allows the use of standard nails and fewer of them, cutting installation time while still meeting the structural requirements of double 2x8 joist connections
- Corrosion-resistant construction for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating provides extra protection against corrosion, supporting durability in framing assemblies that may be exposed to moisture during or after construction
- Trusted Simpson engineering for double 2x8 framing - purpose-built to fit double 2x8 nominal members with a 3-1/8 in. seat width, this hanger removes guesswork and ensures a properly sized, secure connection from the start

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size lumber is the HUS28-2 designed to support?
- The HUS28-2 is specifically designed for double 2x8 nominal joist or beam members, with a seat width of 3-1/8 in. to accommodate that lumber configuration.
- What type of nails should be used to install the HUS28-2?
- The HUS28-2 should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails. The double-shear nailing design allows the use of standard nails for all connections, reducing the need for specialty fasteners.
- Can the tabs on the HUS28-2 be bent or removed to fit a specific application?
- No. The tabs on the HUS28-2 must not be bent or removed. This hanger cannot be modified in any way, as doing so would compromise its structural integrity and load rating.
- What makes the HUS28-2 suitable for higher-load applications?
- The HUS28-2 is built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish and utilizes double-shear nailing, which distributes the load through two points on each joist nail. This combination of heavy-gauge construction and advanced nailing geometry makes it appropriate for applications requiring higher load values.
