The Simpson HU11 Heavy-Duty Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors. Built to support 1-3/4 in. x 11-1/4 to 11-7/8 in. engineered wood members, this heavy-duty hanger is manufactured from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, making it well suited for demanding joist connection applications in residential and commercial framing. Engineered and tested to the highest quality standards, it is the trusted choice of contractors and engineers who need a reliable face-mount solution for engineered lumber.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - lets you adjust hanger position during installation without sacrificing structural performance, saving time and reducing the risk of misalignment.
• Supports 1-3/4 in. x 11-1/4 to 11-7/8 in. engineered wood members - accommodates a range of standard engineered lumber depths within that span, reducing the need to source multiple hanger sizes for similar framing members.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - provides the heavy-duty strength required for applications where additional load capacity and safety factors are critical.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance to help extend the service life of the connector in moisture-prone or demanding environments.
• Seat width of 1-13/16 in. and height of 11-1/16 in. - precise dimensions ensure a snug, properly aligned fit with compatible engineered lumber, supporting a structurally sound connection.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for high-demand framing - the HU11 is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a dependable choice when standard hangers are not adequate for the application.
• Flexible header placement without compromising performance - the "U" design gives installers room to fine-tune positioning on the header, streamlining the installation process on engineered wood framing projects.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for long-term reliability - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra protection against corrosion, helping the connector hold up over time in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Engineered and tested by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson products are manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards and are a go-to choice for engineers and contractors working on code-compliant framing applications.
