Product Description
The Simpson U210-3 U Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x10 is a structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to deliver reliable, flexible joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this face-mount hanger is designed for the demanding load requirements of triple 2x10 framing assemblies - making it a dependable choice for engineers, contractors, and builders who need a connector that performs to code across a wide range of solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, and engineered lumber applications.
Key Features
- Speed prongs locate the hanger on the header during installation - speeds up positioning so you can work faster and with greater accuracy, reducing installation errors before nailing.
- Flexible face-mounted joist-to-header design - accommodates a variety of framing configurations, giving installers versatility across different structural layouts without needing specialty hardware.
- Nominally sized for a triple 2x10 member - purpose-built for triple 2x10 assemblies so the fit is consistent and secure, with no guesswork on sizing for this common framing application.
- Formed from 16-gauge steel - provides the structural rigidity and load capacity that heavy triple-member joist connections demand in residential and commercial framing.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, helping the hanger hold up in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie - this hanger is manufactured and quality-checked to meet the standards that engineers and contractors have relied on across residential and commercial construction projects.
- Compatible with multiple triple-member lumber sizes - while nominally sized for triple 2x10, this hanger also works with triple 2x12 and triple 2x14 members, giving buyers flexibility across different framing depths without stocking multiple hanger models.
- Supports a broad range of lumber types - approved for solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam, and structural composite lumber (SCL), making it a single connector solution for diverse structural applications.
- Made in the United States to Simpson Strong-Tie quality standards - every connector is manufactured to consistent tolerances so builders can count on uniform fit and performance from one project to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lumber sizes is the U210-3 compatible with?
The U210-3 is nominally sized for a triple 2x10 member but is also compatible with triple 2x12 and triple 2x14 lumber sizes, offering flexibility across multiple framing applications.
What fasteners should be used to install the U210-3 joist hanger?
Install the U210-3 using 10d or 16d common nails in the header and 10d common nails in the joist. Always refer to the applicable load tables for full installation requirements.
What is the purpose of the speed prongs on the U210-3?
The speed prongs are designed to locate and hold the hanger in position on the header during installation, making the process faster and more accurate before final nailing.
What coating does the U210-3 have, and why does it matter?
The U210-3 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance. This makes it well-suited for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern, helping to maintain structural integrity over time.
