The Simpson OHU614-SDS3 6x14 Black Ornamental Joist Hanger with SDS Screws is a heavy-duty, load-rated connector from Simpson engineered for exposed structural applications where both performance and appearance matter. Featuring a sleek black powder-coat finish with modern smooth edges and clean lines as part of the Classic Collection, this ornamental hanger is built for projects where structural connectors remain visible - delivering a polished, finished look without compromising on structural integrity.

Key Features

• Black powder-coat finish with smooth edges and clean lines - purpose-built for visible connector applications, so exposed framing looks intentional and refined rather than purely utilitarian.
• Certified welds - provide verified confidence in strength and load capacity, giving builders and inspectors assurance that the connection meets structural demands.
• Increased uplift loads - addresses earthquake and wind loading demands, making this hanger appropriate for high-performance structural applications in seismic or high-wind environments.
• Includes 1/4" x 3" double-barrier-coated Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - everything needed for a complete, code-ready installation arrives in one package, eliminating a separate fastener purchase.
• Sized specifically for 6x14 lumber - engineered dimensions ensure a precise, secure fit for the intended joist, reducing guesswork and installation errors on large timber framing projects.

Why This Product

• Aesthetics and structure in one connector - the Classic Collection black powder-coat finish with smooth edges means this hanger works equally well as a structural component and a design detail in exposed-beam ceilings, open timber frames, and architectural woodwork.
• Complete out-of-the-box solution - the included double-barrier-coated Strong-Drive SDS screws mean no additional hardware is needed, streamlining the purchasing process and keeping the job moving.
• Engineered for demanding load conditions - certified welds combined with increased uplift load capacity make this hanger a reliable choice for structures subject to wind or seismic forces, where connector performance is critical.
• Made in the United States by Simpson - produced domestically by a well-established connector brand, supporting projects that require or prefer American-made structural hardware.
