The Simpson HU214-2 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a professional-grade structural connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Built to accept a double 2x14 joist member, this hanger delivers reliable load transfer at the header connection and is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors tackling demanding residential and commercial framing projects.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets installers position the hanger where it best fits the framing layout, reducing the need for precise pre-marking and speeding up installation.
• Designed for a nominal double 2x14 joist member - provides a secure, purpose-fit seat for doubled-up lumber configurations common in heavy-duty floor and roof framing.
• Constructed from 14-gauge steel - delivers the structural thickness required for high-load connections where thinner hangers would not meet project requirements.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - adds a robust layer of corrosion resistance, helping the connector hold up in moisture-prone environments and extending the service life of the connection.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance for demanding framing work - engineered specifically for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making this hanger appropriate where standard-duty connectors fall short.
• Flexible installation without sacrificing structural integrity - the open "U" design lets framers adjust placement along the header without compromising the load-carrying connection, keeping projects on schedule.
• Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for challenging conditions - the G90 galvanized coating is built for environments where moisture exposure is a concern, giving builders confidence in the long-term durability of their connections.
• Engineered and tested by a recognized industry name - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are manufactured to rigorous quality standards and are widely specified by engineers and contractors, making this hanger a straightforward choice when code compliance and performance matter.
