Product Description
The Simpson U26 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is precision-formed from 16-gauge steel to deliver dependable performance in joist-to-header connections across wood-framed construction projects. Engineered by Simpson to meet rigorous quality standards, this face-mount hanger supports nominal 2x6 and 2x8 members and is built for straightforward installation with multiple fastener options - giving framers a reliable, code-compliant connector for floor, deck, and roof framing applications.
Key Features
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives contractors and inspectors confidence that the hanger meets established structural performance standards without guesswork.
- Multiple fastener selections with tested allowable loads - allows installers to choose the fastening method that best fits the job, each backed by verified load data for accurate engineering decisions.
- Fits nominal 2x6 and 2x8 member sizes - provides flexibility across common framing dimensions, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types for standard lumber sizes.
- Made from 16-gauge steel - delivers the structural strength required for demanding framing connections in residential and light commercial construction.
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments and extending the service life of the connection.
Why This Product
- Code-compliant engineering you can count on - the U-series face-mount hanger is tested and load rated, so builders and engineers can specify it with confidence on permitted projects without additional verification hurdles.
- Installation flexibility built in - compatibility with 10d or 16d common nails in the header and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist means the hanger adapts to the fasteners already on the job site, keeping work moving efficiently.
- Corrosion resistance for long-term performance - the G90 galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this hanger a smart choice for framing in areas exposed to humidity, weather, or treated lumber.
- Precision-formed for consistent, repeatable installation - the tight tolerances of the U26 simplify alignment during framing, reducing installation time and the chance of fitment issues on the job.
