The Simpson Quadruple 2 x 12 Face-Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered for applications where higher load values are needed. Built from 12-gauge steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating for extra corrosion resistance, this face-mount joist hanger is designed to provide reliable support underneath the joist, rafter, or beam for quad 2x12 member configurations. Its double-shear nailing design and compatibility with standard 16d common nails make it a practical, performance-driven choice for demanding framing and girder applications.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength and higher load capacity for structural connections that need to perform under heavy demand.
• Compatible with standard nails throughout - allows for the use of fewer nails and faster installation without requiring specialty fasteners, saving time and reducing material costs on the job.
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for quad 2x12 composite beam and girder applications where a lighter-gauge hanger would not be sufficient.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers extra corrosion resistance, helping the hanger maintain its integrity and load-rated performance in demanding or moisture-prone installation environments.
• Fixed tabs that must not be bent or removed - tabs are structural elements integral to the hanger's rated performance, so preserving them ensures the connection meets its intended load values.

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-load applications - unlike standard joist hangers, this connector is specifically designed for applications where higher load values are required, making it well suited for quad 2x12 girder assemblies in structural framing.
• Faster installation with fewer fasteners - the double-shear nailing system achieves a strong, load-rated connection using standard 16d common nails with fewer nails overall, helping crews work more efficiently without sacrificing structural performance.
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds a meaningful layer of durability, making this hanger a reliable long-term choice in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• A trusted Simpson Strong-Tie solution - part of a diverse line of hangers from Simpson Strong-Tie designed to handle almost any application, this face-mount hanger brings consistent, code-compliant engineering to quad-member beam support scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size member is the HGUS212-4 designed for?

The HGUS212-4 is designed for a nominal joist size of Quad 2x12, making it specifically suited for applications involving four 2x12 members assembled together as a composite girder or beam.

What type of nails should be used to install this hanger?

This hanger should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer nails while still achieving a strong, load-rated connection using standard nails throughout.

Why is double-shear nailing important for this hanger?

Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, which increases overall strength and load capacity. This makes the HGUS212-4 especially well suited for applications where higher load values are required.

What corrosion protection does the HGUS212-4 provide?

The HGUS212-4 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance to help ensure long-term durability in demanding installation environments.
