The Simpson HUCQ310-SDS 3x10 Face-Mount Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector built for structural framing applications where high-capacity performance and elevated safety factors are non-negotiable. Engineered by Simpson with concealed header flanges and packaged with Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws (1/4 x 2-1/2), this galvanized face-mount hanger delivers a clean, reliable joist-to-beam connection for both residential and commercial construction - including installations close to the end of a supporting beam where conventional hangers fall short.

Key Features

• Heavy Concealed Flange Design - The concealed header flanges keep the connection profile low-profile and flush, allowing the hanger to sit close to the end of a supporting beam without sacrificing load capacity or structural integrity.
• Face-Mount Configuration - Attaches directly to the face of the supporting beam, making it straightforward to position and fasten in standard framing layouts without additional hardware or brackets.
• 14-Gauge Steel Construction - Heavy-gauge steel provides the structural rigidity needed for demanding timber framing applications, supporting joists in high-load residential and commercial settings.
• Galvanized Finish - The corrosion-resistant coating makes this hanger compatible with pressure-treated lumber and suitable for use in moisture-prone environments where untreated steel would degrade prematurely.
• Includes SDS Screws (1/4 x 2-1/2) - The included Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector Screws drive without predrilling, cutting installation time and labor on the job site while maintaining a high-capacity fastened connection.
• Purpose-Built for 3x10 Dimensional Lumber - Precisely sized for 3x10 joists, this hanger ensures a snug, code-appropriate fit that eliminates guesswork and keeps framing square and secure.

Why This Product

• No Predrilling Required - The included SDS screws are engineered to drive directly into lumber without pilot holes, reducing installation steps and keeping projects on schedule without compromising connection strength.
• Engineered for Demanding Applications - The HUCQ series is specifically designed for structural framing scenarios that call for additional strength and elevated safety factors, making it a dependable choice for heavy timber work and high-load joist connections.
• Versatile Application Range - From end-of-beam installations where standard hangers are not suitable, to moisture-prone environments requiring corrosion-resistant hardware, this hanger covers a broad range of real-world framing challenges in one product.
• Everything Needed in One Package - The hanger ships with its fasteners already included, so contractors and builders can move straight from delivery to installation without sourcing compatible screws separately.
