Product Description
The Simpson U210Z U ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for 2x10 by Simpson is precision-formed for joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction, delivering reliable structural performance where it counts. Built from 16-gauge steel and finished with a ZMAX galvanized coating, this face-mount hanger is engineered to handle the demands of exterior framing and pressure-treated lumber applications with confidence. Tested, load rated, and code compliant, it is a dependable choice for contractors and builders who need a hanger that meets standards without compromise.
Key Features
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders confidence that the hanger meets structural requirements and will pass inspection without guesswork.
- Multiple fastener selections with tested allowable loads - provides installation flexibility so crews can work with the nail options best suited to the job at hand.
- ZMAX galvanization for extra corrosion resistance - stands up to exterior conditions and chemical exposure from pressure-treated or treated lumber, extending the service life of the connection.
- Made from 16-gauge steel - delivers the structural integrity needed for demanding framing applications while keeping the hanger manageable to handle and install.
- Precision-formed construction - ensures consistent fit against the header and joist, reducing installation time and the chance of misalignment on the job site.
- Seat width of 1-9/16 in. sized for nominal 2x10 joists - provides a snug, accurate fit that supports proper load transfer from the joist to the header.
Why This Product
- Built for treated-wood and exterior framing - the ZMAX coating goes beyond standard galvanization to resist the corrosive effects of treated lumber and outdoor exposure, making this hanger a sound long-term investment in applications where lesser coatings fall short.
- Code-compliant performance backed by testing - because the U-series is tested and load rated, builders and inspectors have documented allowable load values to reference, removing uncertainty from the structural approval process.
- Versatile compatibility across member types - the U210Z is approved for use with solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam, and SCL members, covering a wide range of wood-framed construction scenarios with a single hanger model.
- Straightforward face-mount installation - the face-mount design and clear fastener schedule simplify the installation process, helping crews work efficiently on joist-to-header connections without unnecessary complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ZMAX coating on the U210Z and why does it matter?
ZMAX is a heavy-duty galvanized coating that provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanization. This makes the U210Z particularly well suited for exterior applications and installations where pressure-treated or chemically treated lumber is used, where standard coatings may degrade more quickly.
What fasteners are required to install the U210Z?
The U210Z installs with (10) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (6) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The U series also supports several fastener selections with tested allowable loads - refer to the appropriate load tables for full installation details.
What lumber member sizes is the U210Z compatible with?
While the U210Z is nominally sized for a 2x10 joist, it is also compatible with 2x12 and 2x14 member sizes. Always consult the applicable load tables to confirm allowable loads for your specific lumber species and member size combination.
Is the U210Z tested and code compliant?
Yes. All U-series hangers, including the U210Z, are tested, load rated, and code compliant. Allowable loads are established through testing and are available in the face-mount hanger load tables for solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam, and SCL applications.
