The Simpson LUC Stainless-Steel Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is engineered to deliver reliable structural support underneath joists, rafters, and beams, creating a strong and secure framing connection. Concealed header flanges keep the hardware hidden from view, producing cleaner visible lines in exposed framing conditions - a practical advantage wherever aesthetics matter alongside performance. Value engineered for both strength and economy, the LUC series simplifies and speeds up installation without compromising structural integrity, while its stainless steel construction makes it a dependable choice for exterior builds and treated-wood applications where corrosion resistance is essential.

Key Features

• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives you confidence that the connection meets recognized structural standards, reducing risk on any project.
• Multiple fastener selections with tested allowable loads - lets you choose between Strong-Drive SD Connector SS screws or Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector Nails, so installation adapts to your workflow without sacrificing rated performance.
• Compatible with nominal 2x6 and 2x8 lumber - adds versatility across a range of joist, rafter, and beam framing applications from a single hanger model.
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction - provides the structural thickness needed for load-bearing connections while delivering superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel.
• Concealed header flanges - tuck out of sight once installed, resulting in a cleaner, more finished appearance in open or exposed framing where visible hardware is undesirable.

Why This Product

• Built for harsh environments - stainless steel construction resists corrosion from moisture and the chemicals present in treated lumber, making this hanger well suited for decks, pergolas, and other exterior structural applications where a standard steel connector would degrade over time.
• Clean aesthetics without sacrificing strength - the concealed-flange design hides the header attachment from view, so exposed framing looks intentional and professional while still delivering a fully rated, code-compliant connection.
• Faster, more flexible installation - the LUC series accommodates multiple fastener options with tested allowable loads, letting contractors and builders work efficiently without being locked into a single installation method.
• Versatility across common lumber dimensions - one hanger model fits both nominal 2x6 and 2x8 members, reducing the number of SKUs needed on a job site and simplifying procurement for multi-member framing projects.
