The Simpson LU210R-18 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a precision-formed connector built for joist-to-header installation in wood-framed construction. Designed specifically for 2x10 rough lumber, this face-mount hanger includes speed prongs that temporarily position and secure the connector during installation, making the process faster and more accurate. The economical LU series is value engineered for strength, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for residential and light commercial framing applications where performance and code compliance are equally important.

Key Features

• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the hanger meets structural requirements for permitted construction projects
• Speed prongs for temporary positioning - hold the hanger in place during installation so you can drive fasteners without a second set of hands, saving time on the job
• Multiple fastener selections with tested allowable loads - gives framers flexibility to use compatible nail sizes while maintaining verified load performance
• Precision-formed 18-gauge steel construction - delivers consistent fit for rough-sawn 2x10 lumber and supports reliable load transfer at the joist-to-header connection
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use with treated lumber and in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• 2 in. seat width sized for 2x10 rough nominal joists - ensures a proper, snug fit for rough-sawn lumber without the need for shimming or adjustment

Why This Product

• Built-in installation speed - the integrated speed prongs let a single installer position and hold the hanger in place before nailing, reducing labor time and improving accuracy on wood-framed floor and roof assemblies
• Engineered for rough-sawn lumber - sized specifically for 2x10 rough nominal dimensions, this hanger eliminates the guesswork of fitting a standard hanger to rough-sawn stock, ensuring a proper structural connection every time
• Code-compliant and load rated out of the box - the LU series is tested and recognized for code compliance, so there is no need for additional engineering sign-off on standard joist-to-header applications in wood-framed construction
• Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term durability - the G90 galvanized coating guards against rust and degradation, making this face-mount hanger a dependable choice where treated lumber or elevated moisture conditions are present
