The Simpson 4 X 10 Ornamental Joist Hanger with Screws is a structural connector built for 4x10 lumber applications where framing hardware stays in plain sight. Finished in a sleek black powder coat with smooth edges and clean lines, this hanger from Simpson's Classic Collection bridges the gap between reliable load-bearing performance and refined aesthetics - making it a natural fit for exposed interior framing, open-beam ceilings, and architectural woodworking projects where visible connectors need to look as good as they perform.

Key Features

• Black powder-coat finish with smooth edges and clean lines - keeps the hardware looking polished in exposed, visible installations without sacrificing structural integrity
• Certified welds - provide confidence in strength and loading so builders and designers can trust the connection in critical structural applications
• Increased uplift load capacity - engineered to perform under earthquake or wind loading conditions, adding a meaningful layer of resilience in demanding environments
• 1/4" x 3" double-barrier-coated Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included - means the correct fasteners arrive with the hanger, so installation can proceed without sourcing hardware separately
• Part of Simpson's Classic Collection - a cohesive design family that makes it easy to maintain a consistent, architectural look across an entire project using matching connectors

Why This Product

• Form meets function in one connector - the black powder-coat finish and clean ornamental profile mean this hanger performs the same structural role as a standard joist hanger while contributing to the finished look of exposed framing rather than detracting from it
• Ready to install out of the box - the included 1/4" x 3" double-barrier-coated Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are matched to the hanger, eliminating guesswork and extra trips to source compatible fasteners
• Built for high-demand structural conditions - increased uplift loads make this connector suitable for projects in seismic zones or high-wind regions, giving specifiers and builders added confidence beyond standard gravity-load applications
• Domestic manufacturing from a trusted structural brand - Simpson has a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, and this hanger is made in the United States, supporting consistent quality standards
