The Simpson LUS410 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is an easy-to-install, economical connector engineered to provide solid support underneath joists, rafters, or beams for a strong, reliable connection. Designed by Simpson for common lumber dimensions of 4x10, 4x12, and 4x14 nominal sizes, this hanger features a patented double-shear nailing design that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail - delivering greater strength with fewer fasteners and faster overall installation. Built from 18-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it holds up in moisture-prone environments where corrosion resistance is essential.

Key Features

• Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes load through two points on each joist nail, so you get a stronger connection with fewer nails and less time spent fastening
• Speed prongs - hold the hanger in position during installation, freeing both hands and reducing setup time on the job
• Angled joist nailing - lets you drive fasteners even in tight or confined spaces where a straight approach isn't practical
• Compatible with 4x10, 4x12, and 4x14 nominal lumber - a single hanger model covers three common joist sizes, reducing the need to stock multiple SKUs
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a rigid, durable connector that maintains its shape and holds load capacity under real framing conditions
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for applications where moisture exposure is a concern
• Do not bend or remove tabs - tabs are structural elements of the design, preserving the rated performance of the connection as intended

Why This Product

• Fewer nails, faster installs - the patented double-shear nailing design achieves greater connection strength with a reduced fastener count, cutting labor time without sacrificing performance
• Versatile fit across three lumber sizes - compatibility with 4x10, 4x12, and 4x14 nominal joists means this hanger adapts to varied framing layouts without requiring a different connector for each dimension
• Built for jobsite efficiency - speed prongs and angled joist nailing work together to simplify placement and fastening even in awkward or space-restricted framing conditions
• Corrosion-resistant for demanding environments - the G90 galvanized coating provides durable protection against moisture, making this hanger a dependable choice for both interior framing and applications with elevated humidity or weather exposure

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are recommended for installing the LUS410?

Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (8) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (6) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (14) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 16DHDG).

What lumber sizes is the LUS410 compatible with?

The LUS410 is designed for nominal joist sizes of 4x10, 4x12, and 4x14 lumber.

What is double-shear nailing and why does it matter?

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

Is the LUS410 protected against corrosion?

Yes. The LUS410 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
