The Simpson HU412 Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector built by Simpson Strong-Tie for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Designed to face-mount directly to headers and beams, it delivers a reliable, code-compliant connection for 4x12 nominal lumber in demanding residential and commercial framing projects. Engineered and tested to perform, and manufactured to the highest quality standards, it is the connector of choice for engineers and contractors who will not compromise on structural integrity.

Key Features

• Extra optional triangle holes - allow you to add fasteners for increased load capacity when your project demands more than a standard connection.
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the HU-series connection meets the structural requirements of residential and commercial framing codes.
• Designed for nominal 4x12 lumber - ensures a precise, secure fit for heavy timber framing where a larger lumber profile is required.
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty rigidity needed to support substantial joist loads without flex or deformation.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Why This Product

• Engineer and contractor trusted - Simpson Strong-Tie connectors are the proven choice of construction professionals who require structural hardware that is engineered, tested, and held to the highest quality standards.
• Built-in flexibility for heavier loads - the extra optional triangle nail holes let you increase fastener count and boost load capacity on the spot, giving you options that a standard joist hanger simply does not offer.
• Ready for tough environments - the G90 galvanized finish means this heavy-duty hanger is not limited to dry interior use; it holds up where moisture is present, broadening the range of framing applications it can serve.
• Confidence at every inspection - because HU-series hangers are tested, load rated, and code compliant, this connector supports projects that must meet building code requirements without requiring additional verification of the hardware itself.
