Product Description
The Simpson Rough 6x6 Face-Mount Joist Hanger U66R by Simpson is a face-mount U hanger engineered specifically for joist-to-header connections using rough 6x6 lumber in wood-framed construction. Precision-formed from 16-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, this connector is built to handle the full dimensions of rough-sawn 6x6 timber, giving builders and contractors a reliable, code-ready fastening solution for heavy structural framing applications.
Key Features
- Face-mount design for joist-to-header connections - installs directly against the header face for a clean, structurally sound connection without notching or complex carpentry work
- Precision-formed from 16-gauge steel - delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and structural strength across every installation, reducing fitment issues on the job site
- Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides a durable corrosion-resistant barrier, making this hanger suitable for demanding framing environments where long-term performance matters
- Sized specifically for rough 6x6 lumber - the 6 in. interior width accommodates full rough-sawn dimensions that standard hangers may not fit, eliminating the guesswork of sizing up a connector for rough timber
- Compatible with multiple lumber species and load tables - load values are published for DF, SP, SPF, and HF species groups, so builders can verify performance against project-specific engineering requirements
Why This Product
- Built for rough-sawn timber where standard hangers fall short - most face-mount hangers are sized for dressed lumber; the U66R is engineered around the true dimensions of rough 6x6 stock, so the fit is correct from the start
- Trusted Simpson engineering - the U66R comes from Simpson, a brand with a long-standing reputation for structural connectors, giving contractors and inspectors confidence in the connection
- Broad species compatibility simplifies project planning - published load tables covering multiple wood species mean this single hanger model can serve across a wide range of framing projects without requiring a custom solution
- G90 galvanized protection extends service life - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish guards against corrosion over the lifetime of the structure, reducing maintenance concerns and supporting long-term structural integrity

Frequently Asked Questions
- What lumber size is the U66R designed to support?
- The U66R is specifically designed for rough 6x6 lumber, with an interior width of 6 inches and a height of 5 inches to accommodate full rough-sawn dimensional lumber in wood-framed construction applications.
- What gauge steel is used in the construction of the U66R?
- The U66R is precision-formed from 16-gauge steel, providing a strong and durable connector engineered to meet the structural demands of joist-to-header installations.
- What type of coating does the U66R have, and why does it matter?
- The U66R features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating, which provides a protective layer against corrosion. This coating helps ensure long-term durability and performance in typical wood-framed construction environments.
- How is the U66R installed?
- The U66R is a face-mount hanger, meaning it attaches directly to the face of the header to support the joist. Refer to the available load tables and installation resources in the Options section above for species-specific values covering Solid Sawn Lumber, Rough Lumber, I-Joists, Glulam, and SCL applications.
