Product Description
The Simpson HUC46Z Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and safety factors. Built for nominal 4x6 lumber, this 14-gauge steel hanger uses a face-mount design with concealed header flanges that keep visible lines clean and refined in exposed framing conditions. The ZMAX galvanized coating delivers extra corrosion resistance beyond standard galvanization, making this joist hanger a reliable choice for exterior structures, pressure-treated lumber connections, and installations into wood, masonry, or concrete headers.
Key Features
- Concealed header flanges - tuck neatly behind the header for cleaner, more finished-looking exposed framing without sacrificing structural integrity
- ZMAX galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized finishes, keeping the hanger performing reliably in exterior and treated-wood environments
- 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength required for structures with elevated load and safety requirements
- Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - gives builders flexibility to use a single hanger solution across multiple substrate types
- Extra optional triangle holes - allow for additional nailing to increase load capacity where the application demands it
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - gives builders and inspectors confidence that every installation meets recognized structural standards
Why This Product
- Strength where it matters most - the HUC series is specifically designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors, making it a dependable choice for demanding framing projects rather than a standard-duty alternative
- Aesthetics without compromise - the concealed-flange design maintains cleaner visible lines in exposed conditions, so structural hardware does not detract from finished framing appearances
- Built for tough environments - ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance beyond conventional coatings, making this hanger well suited for outdoor framing and connections involving chemically treated lumber
- Versatile installation options - compatibility with wood, masonry, and concrete substrates, combined with optional triangle holes for additional load, means this hanger adapts to a wider range of job-site conditions than a basic joist hanger
