Product Description
The Simpson HUS46 face-mount joist hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector built for 4x6 nominal lumber applications where higher load values are required. Engineered by Simpson from 14-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this hanger supports joists, rafters, or beams at the face of the supporting member, creating a reliable, load-bearing connection suited for demanding framing work. Its double-shear nailing design sets it apart from standard single-shear hangers, making it a practical choice for contractors and builders who need a stronger, more efficient connection without added complexity.
Key Features
- Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength, delivering a more secure connection than conventional single-shear hangers
- Compatible with standard nails - allows for the use of standard nails for all connections, so no specialty fasteners are required, keeping material costs straightforward
- Fewer nails required - allows for the use of fewer nails and faster installation, reducing labor time on the job without sacrificing structural performance
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty rigidity needed for high-load framing applications involving 4x6 lumber
- G90 galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
- Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the tabs as manufactured ensures the hanger performs to its rated load capacity and maintains structural integrity
