The Simpson HU212 HU Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for 2x12 is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie for framing applications requiring additional strength and safety factors. Built to securely support nominal 2x12 lumber, this face-mount hanger is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors who demand connectors that are rigorously engineered, tested, and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Whether tackling a residential deck, floor framing, or a load-bearing structure that must meet building code requirements, this joist hanger delivers the reliable, long-lasting connection that demanding projects call for.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - makes it easier to position the hanger precisely where it is needed without being locked into a single mounting location, saving time during installation.
• Nominal joist size: 2x12 - engineered specifically for 2x12 lumber so the fit is accurate and the load transfer is optimal, reducing the risk of improper sizing on the job site.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - provides heavy-duty strength suited for structures where additional strength and safety factors are required, giving contractors and engineers confidence in the connection.
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance - the zinc galvanized G90 coating helps protect against moisture and environmental exposure, supporting long-term performance in demanding conditions.

Why This Product

• Engineered for heavy-duty framing demands - the HU series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a dependable choice when standard hangers are not sufficient for the application.
• Flexibility that speeds up installation - the "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header, letting framers and contractors work efficiently without being constrained by rigid positioning requirements.
