The Simpson 6 x 14 Concealed-Flange Heavy Face-Mount Hanger HUC614 is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson engineered for framing applications that demand additional strength and elevated safety factors. Built from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, this face-mount joist hanger features concealed header flanges that keep visible lines clean and finished - an important advantage in exposed framing and open-ceiling conditions. The HUC614 connects nominal 6x14 wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete headers, making it a versatile choice across a broad range of heavy structural framing scenarios. As part of the tested and load-rated HUC series, it is code compliant and backed by the engineering standards that structural professionals rely on.

Key Features

• Concealed header flanges - hide the hanger flange behind the header for cleaner, more professional-looking lines in exposed or open-ceiling framing conditions
• Extra optional triangle holes - allow for additional nailing where higher load capacity is needed, giving you flexibility to meet demanding structural requirements
• Tested, load rated, and code compliant - the HUC series meets recognized code standards, so engineers, inspectors, and contractors can use it with confidence on regulated projects
• Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - a single hanger solution that works across multiple substrate types, reducing the need to source different connectors for different conditions
• 14-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material delivers the structural integrity required for large-member framing where lighter hangers are not appropriate
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance compared to lighter coatings, making it suitable for framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• 5-1/2 in. seat width sized for a nominal 6x14 joist - precisely dimensioned to properly cradle and support the member for a stable, correctly rated connection

Why This Product

• Built for heavy structural loads - designed specifically for applications requiring additional strength and safety factors, the HUC614 handles the demands of large-member framing that standard hangers are not rated for
• Aesthetic advantage in exposed conditions - the concealed-flange design keeps the header connection visually clean, making it the right choice when structural hardware will remain visible after construction is complete
• Broad substrate compatibility - connects wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete headers, so one trusted product covers multiple connection types on the same job site
• Code-compliant with load-rated documentation - the HUC series is tested and load rated, providing the verified performance data that code-required projects and professional inspections demand

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist is the HUC614 designed to support?

The HUC614 is sized for a nominal 6x14 wood joist, with a seat width of 5-1/2 in. to properly cradle the member during and after installation.

What fasteners should be used to install the HUC614?

Install with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the header and 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the joist for a properly rated connection.

What does the G90 galvanized coating provide?

The G90 zinc galvanized finish provides extra corrosion resistance compared to lighter coatings, making the HUC614 suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

What is the purpose of the optional triangle holes on the HUC614?

The extra optional triangle holes allow for additional nailing to increase the load capacity of the connection when the project or design requirements call for a higher-rated installation.
