The Simpson HUC212-2 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson for applications where additional strength and safety factors are required. Built to accept a double 2x12 member, this face-mount joist hanger features concealed header flanges that maintain clean, finished-looking lines in exposed framing conditions - making it a practical choice for both structural performance and visual presentation. The 14-gauge steel construction and G90 zinc galvanized coating deliver the durability and corrosion resistance that demanding framing projects require, and the hanger is tested, load rated, and code compliant for confident use across wood, masonry, and concrete installations.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - keep flange hardware hidden from view, producing cleaner visible lines in exposed framing and finished spaces
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity and load capacity suited for heavy-duty applications where standard hangers fall short
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the connector in moisture-prone environments
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow additional nailing for increased load capacity when project conditions demand it
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - gives installers the flexibility to use one hanger across multiple substrate types on the same job
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - meets recognized standards so contractors and inspectors can rely on the connector without additional verification steps
• 3-1/8 in. seat width accepts a double 2x12 member - precisely sized to cradle the doubled joist securely and eliminate guesswork during layout

Why This Product

• Strength where standard hangers are not enough - the HUC series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it the right choice when project loads exceed what a light-duty connector can handle
• Exposed-application ready out of the box - the concealed-flange design addresses a common framing challenge by hiding the header flanges, so structural connections look intentional rather than industrial in visible ceiling and beam applications
• Versatile substrate compatibility - the ability to connect wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete headers means fewer SKUs to manage on mixed-construction projects
• Built-in adaptability for higher loads - the optional triangle holes allow contractors to add nails and increase load transfer when engineering requirements or field conditions call for it, without switching to a different product

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist is the HUC212-2 designed to support?

The HUC212-2 is designed for a nominal joist size of Double 2x12, with a seat width of 3-1/8 in. to properly cradle and support the double member.

What types of nails are required to install the HUC212-2?

Installation requires (16-22) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and (6-10) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the joist. Always follow the nail schedule to achieve the rated load capacity.

Why does the HUC212-2 have a G90 galvanized coating?

The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure could compromise the structural integrity of an uncoated steel connector.

What are the optional triangle holes on the HUC212-2 used for?

The extra optional triangle holes are provided to allow additional nailing for increased load capacity when the application demands higher performance beyond the standard nail pattern.
