Designed to sit under the truss saddle, this connector simplifies ceiling joist installation by supporting joists on both sides of a truss from a single unit - cutting connector layout labor in half compared to using separate face-mounted hangers. With a G90 zinc galvanized finish and full code listing, this post-frame hanger delivers dependable performance for applications where ceiling panels act as diaphragms or bottom chord truss bracing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports two ceiling joists from a single connector\u003c\/strong\u003e - reduces connector layout labor costs by half versus using separate face-mounted hangers, saving time on every installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnder-saddle seat design fits snugly beneath the truss bottom chord\u003c\/strong\u003e - automatically aligns parts vertically, simplifying and accelerating the layout process on the job site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasily halved along built-in perforations for one-sided use\u003c\/strong\u003e - eliminating the need for additional face-mounted hangers when single-side applications are required, giving builders flexible field adaptability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad-rated for joist tension forces\u003c\/strong\u003e - ideal for ceiling panels acting as diaphragms or bottom chord truss bracing, providing greater reliability and load capacity than toe-nailed ceiling joists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with both nails and screws for load-rated performance\u003c\/strong\u003e - offers flexibility in fastener choice without sacrificing the structural integrity of the connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade from 20-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish\u003c\/strong\u003e - provides corrosion resistance to support long-term durability in post-frame building environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal joist size of 2x4 and fits 1-ply trusses\u003c\/strong\u003e - ensures a precise, purpose-built fit for the most common post-frame ceiling joist and truss configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully tested and code listed\u003c\/strong\u003e - gives specifiers and builders confidence that the connector meets established strength and durability standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e - manufactured domestically for consistent quality and reliable availability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut your layout time significantly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because one PFUD24 hanger handles ceiling joists on both sides of a truss, you install fewer connectors overall - reducing labor costs and speeding up post-frame framing schedules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in field adaptability:\u003c\/strong\u003e The perforated design allows builders to split the hanger along its under-saddle perforations on the job site, instantly converting it to two single-sided face-mounted options without sourcing additional hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStronger than traditional toe-nailing:\u003c\/strong\u003e This connector is load-rated for joist tension forces and offers greater reliability and load capacity than toe-nailed ceiling joists, making it a structurally sound upgrade for any post-frame ceiling joist connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion-resistant construction for lasting performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e The G90 zinc galvanized finish protects the 20-gauge steel hanger from corrosion, supporting durability throughout the life of the structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simpson Strong-Tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e PFUD24\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMember Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x4\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanger\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Galvanized, G90\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc Galvanized, G90\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eInstall With\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eInstall with (16 - 18) #9 x 1-1\/2 in.
