Key Features

• Designed to help resist download forces - actively works against vertical load stress, helping keep your joist connections secure under load.
• Unique two-level embossment on the top flange - adds stiffness where it matters most, reducing flex and improving the structural integrity of the connection.
• Top-flange design for solid sawn lumber - seats flush over the supporting member for a cleaner fit and straightforward alignment during framing.
• ZMAX galvanization - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger well suited for exterior framing and treated-wood applications where standard coatings may fall short.
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers reliable strength for light-to-medium load applications without unnecessary bulk.
• Quick installation - straightforward fastening with a specified nail pattern means less time per hanger and faster progress on the job site.
