Product Description
The Simpson Rough 4x4 Face-Mount Joist Hanger U44R by Simpson is a precision-formed face-mount hanger engineered specifically for rough 4x4 lumber in joist-to-header connections across wood-framed construction applications. Built to accommodate the full rough-sawn dimension of a 4x4 member, this U hanger delivers consistent structural performance and reliable load transfer for contractors and builders working with solid sawn lumber or engineered wood products.
Key Features
- Face-mount design sized for rough 4x4 lumber - the interior width is matched precisely to the full rough-sawn dimension, ensuring a snug, accurate fit that eliminates guesswork on the jobsite
- 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for dependable joist-to-header load transfer in wood-framed assemblies
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, helping the hanger hold up over the long term in typical wood-framed construction environments
- Broad lumber compatibility - approved for use with Douglas Fir, Southern Pine, Spruce-Pine-Fir, Hem-Fir, and engineered wood products including I-Joists, Glulam, and Structural Composite Lumber, giving builders flexibility across a wide range of projects
- Domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States under consistent quality controls, supporting predictable performance from hanger to hanger
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for rough lumber - unlike standard hangers sized for dressed lumber, the U44R is specifically dimensioned for rough 4x4 members, meaning builders working with rough-sawn stock get a proper fit without shimming or modification
- Versatile across species and engineered products - with approved applications spanning multiple solid sawn lumber species as well as I-Joists, Glulam, and SCL, this single hanger model covers a wide variety of structural framing scenarios
- Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting reliability - the G90 zinc galvanized coating goes beyond a basic protective layer, making this hanger a sound long-term investment for framing connections that need to perform for the life of the structure
- Trusted Simpson engineering - backed by published load tables for multiple lumber categories and connection types, contractors have the documented performance data needed to spec and install with confidence
