The Simpson HU26-3 HU Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Triple 2x6 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, built for applications where tripled-up 2x6 framing members require a secure, high-capacity face-mount connection. Engineered and tested to perform to the highest quality standards, this hanger is the trusted choice of engineers and contractors on residential and commercial projects that demand additional strength and safety factors.

Key Features

• "U" design allows for flexibility of placement on the header - makes it easier to position the hanger precisely without being locked into a single location, saving time during installation
• Nominal joist size: Triple 2x6 - sized specifically for tripled 2x6 assemblies, ensuring a proper fit and full load transfer without field modification
• Made from 14-gauge steel - heavy-duty construction delivers the added load capacity required for structures with elevated strength and safety demands
• Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance - the zinc G90 coating helps the hanger maintain structural integrity in moisture-prone environments, extending service life

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty performance where standard hangers fall short - the HU series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it appropriate for demanding framing connections that exceed the capacity of standard-duty hardware
• Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie - backed by the engineering, testing, and quality standards that make Simpson Strong-Tie connectors the go-to choice for professionals on code-compliant construction projects
• Flexible installation on the header - the "U" design gives installers freedom of placement along the header, reducing the precision required during layout and helping projects move faster
• Built for lasting durability in real-world conditions - the G90 zinc galvanized finish provides a meaningful layer of protection against corrosion, keeping the connector performing reliably where moisture exposure is a factor
