Product Description
The Simpson U24 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a 16-gauge galvanized steel connector engineered for reliable, flexible joist-to-header connections in wood-framed construction. Built by Simpson Strong-Tie to rigorous quality standards, this face-mount hanger is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors on residential and light commercial framing projects where a secure, code-compliant 2x4 joist connection is required.
Key Features
- Speed prongs locate the hanger on the header - self-positioning during installation so you can work faster and hold the hanger in place hands-free while nailing
- Flexible face-mounted joist-to-header installation - accommodates a range of field conditions, giving framers more versatility when positioning the joist relative to the header
- Sized for nominal 2x4 joist members - purpose-built fit eliminates guesswork and ensures a snug, structurally sound connection for standard 2x4 framing
- Formed from 16-gauge steel - provides the strength and rigidity needed to carry joist loads without deflection or deformation at the connection point
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for applications where moisture exposure is a concern
Why This Product
- Engineered and tested for structural performance - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are designed, tested, and manufactured to the highest quality standards, giving you confidence that each hanger will perform as expected in the field
- Speed prongs reduce installation time - the built-in locating prongs grip the header and hold the hanger in position while you fasten it, cutting setup time on repetitive joist installations
- G90 galvanized finish adds long-term durability - the corrosion-resistant coating goes beyond basic protection, helping the hanger hold up in framing environments where moisture, humidity, or treated lumber contact is possible
