Product Description
The Simpson HTU28 HTU Galvanized Heavy Face-Mount Truss Hanger for 2x8 by Simpson Strong-Tie is an engineered face-mount truss hanger designed to deliver strong, reliable connections for 2x8 joists, rafters, and beams. Built with nail patterns developed specifically for shallow heel heights, this hanger delivers full allowable loads with minimum nailing at heel heights as low as 3-7/8 in., making it an ideal solution for truss applications where heel height is a critical factor.
Key Features
- Nail patterns designed specifically for shallow heel heights - full allowable loads apply to heel heights as low as 3-7/8 in. with minimum nailing
- Minimum and maximum nailing options provide solutions for varying heel heights and end conditions
- Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling both round and triangle holes for maximum load values
- Alternate allowable loads available for gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member up to 1/2 in. max., allowing for greater construction tolerances
- Nominal joist size: 2x8
- Made from 16-gauge steel for heavy-duty performance
- Galvanized (G90) finish for extra corrosion resistance
- Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the minimum heel height that the HTU28 supports with full allowable loads?
- The HTU28 is engineered with nail patterns specifically designed for shallow heel heights. Full allowable loads with minimum nailing apply to heel heights as low as 3-7/8 in., making it well-suited for truss applications with limited heel height.
- What fasteners are required to install the HTU28?
- The HTU28 should be installed with 16d common nails and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails, or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. It can be installed filling round holes only, or filling both round and triangle holes to achieve maximum load values.
- What gauge steel is the HTU28 made from, and what corrosion protection does it offer?
- The HTU28 is manufactured from 16-gauge steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance for demanding construction environments.
- Can the HTU28 be used in applications where there is a gap between the truss and the carrying member?
- Yes. The HTU28 provides alternate allowable loads for gaps between the end of the truss and the carrying member of up to 1/2 in. maximum, allowing for greater construction tolerances. Note that the maximum gap for standard allowable loads is 1/8 in. per ASTM D7147.
