The Simpson 6x10 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a precision-formed steel connector built for joist-to-header installation in wood-framed construction. Engineered by Simpson, this face-mount hanger delivers dependable structural support across a wide range of lumber types, making it a reliable choice for residential and commercial framing projects where consistent fit and connection integrity matter.

Key Features

• Face-mount design for joist-to-header connections - attaches directly to the face of a header or beam, allowing secure joist support from below without the need for complex hardware or extra components
• Precision-formed from 16-gauge steel - ensures a consistent, accurate fit during installation, reducing adjustment time on the job and maintaining reliable structural integrity at every connection point
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance suited to typical wood-framed construction environments, helping the hanger hold up over the long term
• Broad lumber compatibility - approved for solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, I-joists, glulam beams, and structural composite lumber, giving builders flexibility across a wide variety of framing applications
• Supports multiple species groups - rated for Douglas Fir, Southern Pine, Spruce-Pine-Fir, and Hem-Fir framing, so the same hanger works across the lumber species most commonly used in framing
• Made in the United States - produced domestically to consistent quality standards, supporting confidence in material sourcing and product reliability

Why This Product

• One hanger, many framing scenarios - compatibility with solid sawn lumber, rough lumber, engineered wood products, and multiple wood species means fewer SKUs to manage and a single connector that adapts to different job site conditions
• Engineered specifically for face-mount joist applications - the U610 is purpose-built for joist-to-header connections rather than adapted from a general-purpose bracket, which means the geometry and load path are optimized for this specific installation type
• Corrosion-resistant coating built into the product - the G90 zinc galvanized finish is not an add-on option but a standard feature, so every unit is ready for installation in typical wood-framed environments without any additional treatment
• Domestic manufacturing with consistent quality - produced in the United States by Simpson, a brand with a long-standing reputation in structural connectors, providing builders and inspectors a familiar, trusted component on the framing checklist
