The Simpson HGUS212-3 HGUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x12 is a heavy-duty face-mount connector from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered specifically for applications where higher load values are needed. Built to support triple 2x12 members, this girder hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection by providing support directly underneath the joist, rafter, or beam. Constructed from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, the HGUS212-3 is a dependable choice for structural framing projects where both performance and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving each connection greater strength and structural integrity than standard single-shear alternatives.
• Fewer nails required with standard nail compatibility - the double-shear design allows for faster installation using standard nails throughout, reducing material costs and labor time on the job.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty rigidity needed to handle the elevated load demands of triple-member girder assemblies and high-load framing applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to help the hanger maintain its structural integrity in moisture-prone environments over the long term.
• Tabs must not be bent or removed - preserving the factory tab configuration is essential to maintaining the rated performance of the connection.

Why This Product

• Engineered for higher load demands - the HGUS series is specifically designed for applications where standard hangers fall short, making this connector a purpose-built solution for triple 2x12 girder support where load capacity is a priority.
• Faster, more efficient installation - the double-shear nailing system lets builders complete connections with fewer nails and standard fasteners, cutting down installation time without sacrificing strength.
• Built to resist corrosion in tough conditions - the G90 galvanized finish provides a meaningful layer of protection against moisture and environmental exposure, supporting long-term performance in demanding framing environments.
• Consistent, code-friendly connections - compatibility with 16d common nails means contractors can work with familiar, widely available fasteners to achieve reliable, structurally sound results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size member is the HGUS212-3 designed to support?

The HGUS212-3 is designed for a nominal joist size of Triple 2x12, making it suitable for applications requiring support of triple-member girder assemblies.

What type of nails should be used to install the HGUS212-3?

The HGUS212-3 should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer nails while still achieving a strong, code-compliant connection.

What is the advantage of the double-shear nailing design?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, resulting in greater strength. It also allows for faster installation and the use of standard nails for all connections.

Why is the G90 galvanized coating important?

The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its structural integrity and longevity in demanding environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
