Product Description
The Simpson LUS28Z LUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for 2x8 by Simpson Strong-Tie is an easy-to-install, economical face-mount hanger designed to provide strong, reliable support underneath joists, rafters, or beams. Featuring a patented double-shear nailing design, this hanger distributes load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength - allowing fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection. The ZMAX galvanized coating makes it an ideal choice for exterior and treated-wood applications where superior corrosion resistance is required.

- Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (6) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (10) 0.148 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 10DHDG).
- What is the benefit of the double-shear nailing design on the LUS28Z?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization used on this hanger?
- ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the LUS28Z well suited for exterior applications and connections involving treated wood where standard galvanization may not provide adequate protection.
- Can the tabs on the LUS28Z be bent or removed to fit a specific application?
- No. The tabs on the LUS28Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the tabs can compromise the structural integrity and load-rated performance of the hanger.
