Product Description
The Simpson U414 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered to deliver flexible, reliable joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction. Formed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating, this face-mount hanger is built to meet the demands of larger dimensional lumber applications, and is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors for residential and code-compliant building projects alike.
Key Features
- Speed prongs for fast, accurate positioning - locate and hold the hanger on the header during installation, reducing alignment guesswork and speeding up your workflow.
- Flexible face-mounted joist-to-header installation - accommodates a range of framing configurations, giving you greater versatility on the job site.
- Designed for nominal 4x14 member sizes - purpose-built for larger dimensional lumber commonly used in heavy wood-framed structural applications.
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength and rigidity required for load-bearing connections in demanding framing conditions.
- G90 galvanized coating for extra corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized finish helps protect the connector against moisture and the elements, extending the service life of the connection.
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested to the highest quality standards - Simpson connectors are designed to perform under real-world structural loads, making this hanger a reliable choice for both residential projects and code-compliant construction.
- Built-in speed prongs simplify installation - by temporarily holding the hanger in place on the header, speed prongs let you fasten accurately without needing a second set of hands to hold the connector steady.
- G90 galvanized protection for long-term durability - the zinc galvanized finish delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
- Sized for heavy lumber framing - with support for nominal 4x14 and 4x16 member sizes, this hanger addresses the specific demands of larger structural members that standard-sized hangers cannot accommodate.
