Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size is the HUC28-2SS designed to accommodate?

The HUC28-2SS is specifically designed to accommodate double 2x8 lumber members, making it suitable for robust structural connections that require a doubled joist configuration.

What material and gauge is the HUC28-2SS constructed from?

The HUC28-2SS is constructed from 14-gauge (68 mil) stainless steel, providing heavy-duty load capacity, durability, and outstanding corrosion resistance for demanding structural and exposed environments.

What does the "concealed-flange" design mean, and when is it beneficial?

The concealed-flange design means the header flanges are hidden from view once installed, resulting in cleaner, more finished visible lines. This is especially beneficial in exposed framing conditions where the appearance of the finished installation matters alongside structural performance.

Is the HUC28-2SS suitable for applications requiring extra strength beyond standard hangers?

Yes. The HUC28-2SS is a heavy face-mount hanger specifically engineered for structures that demand additional strength and enhanced safety factors beyond what standard joist hanger applications provide.
