Product Description
The Simpson HGUS28 Face-Mount Joist Hanger from Simpson is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for applications where higher load values are required. Built from 12-gauge galvanized steel and designed to support a nominal 2x8 joist or truss member, this face-mount hanger delivers a strong, secure connection underneath the joist, rafter, or beam. Its double-shear nailing design and G90 galvanized coating make it a reliable choice for demanding framing and truss applications.
Key Features
- Double-shear nailing technology - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater connection strength for higher-load framing situations
- Fewer nails required with standard nail compatibility - allows for faster installation using standard nails at all connection points, reducing labor time without sacrificing structural integrity
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the rigidity and durability needed for heavy-capacity face-mount hanger applications
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for moisture-exposed framing environments
- Designed for nominal 2x8 joist and truss members - ensures a precise, secure fit for the correct member size, eliminating guesswork during installation
- Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the tabs maintains the engineered load rating and keeps the connection performing as designed
Why This Product
- Built for high-load demands - the HGUS28 is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are needed, making it the appropriate choice when a standard joist hanger would be undersized for the job
- Installs faster with a simpler nail schedule - the double-shear nailing design allows for fewer nails while maintaining connection strength, which translates directly into saved time on the job site
- Corrosion-resistant for lasting performance - the G90 zinc galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of protection in environments where moisture is a concern, helping the hanger hold up over the long term
- Trusted engineering from Simpson - part of a broad line of Simpson face-mount and joist hanger solutions, the HGUS28 reflects the same design standards builders rely on across a wide range of structural connector applications

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist is the HGUS28 designed to support?
- The HGUS28 is designed for a nominal 2x8 joist or truss member, providing a secure face-mount connection for that specific member size.
- What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS28?
- The HGUS28 should be installed with 16d common nails. Its double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer standard nails while still achieving a strong, high-load connection.
- What is the benefit of double-shear nailing on the HGUS28?
- Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, which increases the overall strength of the connection and allows the hanger to handle higher load values compared to standard single-shear designs.
- Is the HGUS28 suitable for outdoor or moisture-exposed environments?
- Yes. The HGUS28 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for use in applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
