Why This Product
- Trusted engineering behind every connection - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are engineered, tested, and manufactured to meet the high standards relied upon by professional contractors and structural engineers on code-compliant projects.
- Speed prongs cut installation time - the built-in prongs automatically position the hanger on the header, eliminating the extra step of holding and aligning the connector while fastening.
- Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds a layer of protection that helps this hanger hold up in construction environments where moisture and weathering are a concern.
- Broad lumber compatibility in a single hanger - accepts both 4x6 and 4x8 rough members, giving you added flexibility when framing with rough-sawn lumber without needing to stock multiple hanger sizes.
