The Simpson LUS210SS LUS Stainless-Steel Face-Mount Joist Hanger by Simpson is an economical, easy-to-install connector engineered to deliver a strong, reliable connection underneath joists, rafters, or beams in residential and structural framing applications. Formed from 18-gauge stainless steel, this face-mount hanger is built for high and severe corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice for coastal, exterior, and moisture-prone environments. Its patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength while reducing the total number of fasteners required and speeding up installation on the job site.

Key Features

• Patented double-shear nailing design provides greater strength with fewer nails - load is distributed through two points on each joist nail, meaning a stronger connection without extra hardware or labor
• Speed prongs for fast and easy installation - prongs grip the lumber and hold the hanger in position before nailing, freeing both hands and reducing layout time
• Angled joist nailing easier in tight spaces - angled nail slots allow fastener placement even where swing room is limited, keeping installation practical in real-world framing conditions
• Stainless steel construction for high/severe corrosion resistance - resists rust and degradation in demanding environments such as coastal, treated-lumber, and high-moisture applications
• Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a dependable balance of structural strength and workability for common lumber connections
• Compatible with nominal joist sizes 2x10, 2x12, and 2x14 - versatile fit across multiple lumber dimensions reduces the need to stock multiple hanger models for a single project
• Do not bend or remove tabs - tabs are integral to the engineered load rating, preserving the hanger's rated performance exactly as tested

Why This Product

• Engineered for corrosive environments - the stainless steel finish provides high and severe corrosion resistance, making this hanger a purpose-built solution where standard galvanized hardware would fall short, such as coastal construction or installations with pressure-treated lumber
• Fewer fasteners, faster framing - the patented double-shear nailing design achieves greater connection strength with fewer nails, which cuts material costs and shortens installation time without sacrificing structural integrity
• Practical design details that work on the job - speed prongs and angled nail slots address real on-site challenges by holding the hanger in place before nailing and allowing fastener access in confined framing bays
• Multi-size versatility in a single hanger - compatibility with 2x10, 2x12, and 2x14 nominal lumber members means this connector handles a range of common floor and roof framing sizes, adding flexibility across different project scopes

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are required to install the LUS210SS?

Stainless-steel connectors require stainless-steel fasteners. Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector SS screws: (8) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (12) 0.148 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector nails. Compatible models include SD9112SS, SD9212SS, and SSA10D.

What lumber member sizes is the LUS210SS compatible with?

The LUS210SS is designed for nominal joist sizes of 2x10, 2x12, and 2x14 lumber members.

Why does the LUS210SS use a double-shear nailing design?

The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.

Why is stainless steel used for this hanger?

The LUS210SS is made from stainless steel to provide high and severe corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions is a concern.
