Product Description
The Simpson 2X14 U14 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a precision-formed, 16-gauge steel connector engineered for face-mount joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction. Built by Simpson, this hanger is designed to seat 2x14 lumber securely, delivering consistent structural support for framers and contractors working with solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam beams, and structural composite lumber.
Key Features
- Face-mount configuration - positions the hanger flush against the header face, simplifying installation and reducing the need for complex positioning during framing
- Precision-formed from 16-gauge steel - ensures a consistent, repeatable fit around 2x14 lumber, reducing on-site adjustment and contributing to a reliable structural connection
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in typical framing environments over the long term
- Broad lumber compatibility - supports solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam beams, and structural composite lumber, giving framers flexibility across a wide range of jobsite conditions
- Domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States, supporting consistent production standards and material quality
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for 2x14 framing - the U14 is sized specifically for 2x14 lumber, so there is no guesswork about fit during a joist-to-header connection, keeping work moving on the jobsite
- Versatile across engineered and dimensional lumber - compatibility with solid sawn, rough, I-joist, glulam, and SCL framing members means a single hanger model covers multiple framing scenarios without switching hardware
- Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized coating helps protect structural integrity over time, reducing concerns about premature degradation in the connection point
- Trusted Simpson quality in 16-gauge steel - the 16GA face-mount hanger is precision-formed to deliver a dependable fit, giving builders and contractors confidence in every connection they make

What size lumber is the Simpson U14 joist hanger designed to fit?
The U14 is sized for 2x14 lumber. Its interior width of 1-13/16 in. and height of 10-1/4 in. are engineered to accommodate standard 2x14 dimensional lumber in joist-to-header framing connections.
What type of coating does the U14 have, and why does it matter?
The U14 features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating. This galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its structural integrity over time in typical framing environments.
What gauge steel is used in the U14 joist hanger?
The U14 is fabricated from 16-gauge steel, which provides the strength and rigidity required for structural joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction.
Is the U14 compatible with engineered lumber products like I-joists or glulam beams?
Yes. The U14 face-mount hanger can be used with I-joists, glulam, and structural composite lumber (SCL), in addition to solid sawn and rough lumber. Refer to the load tables in the Downloads and Resources section for specific allowable load values by lumber type.
