Product Description
The Simpson HUCQ Heavy Face-Mount Concealed-Flange Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for projects requiring additional strength and safety factors. Built specifically for 5-1/8 in. x 9 in. glulam members, it features concealed header flanges that keep connections visually clean in exposed framing conditions - making it equally suitable for performance-critical builds and architecturally finished spaces. The face-mount design allows installation close to the end of a supporting beam, and the hanger connects wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete substrates. ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, and every package ships with 18 Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no predrilling required.
Key Features
- Concealed header flanges - keep structural connections out of sight for cleaner, more finished results in exposed conditions without sacrificing load performance
- Designed for 5-1/8 in. x 9 in. glulam members - precision-matched sizing ensures proper fit and full rated load capacity for glulam joist applications
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength and rigidity needed for structures with elevated load and safety requirements
- ZMAX galvanized coating - delivers superior corrosion resistance, making this hanger appropriate for exterior environments and installations involving pressure-treated lumber
- Face-mount design allows end-of-beam installation - gives installers more flexibility in tight framing conditions without compromising structural integrity
- Connects to wood, masonry, and concrete - broad substrate compatibility reduces the need for alternate hardware across different project conditions
- Includes 18 Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - eliminates a separate fastener purchase, and the no-predrill requirement speeds up installation on the jobsite
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUCQ-series hangers carry verified performance data, supporting inspections and structural documentation requirements
Why This Product
- Heavy-duty capacity with a clean finish - the concealed-flange design delivers the structural strength demanded by high-load glulam connections while maintaining refined aesthetics in exposed beam and joist applications
- Ready to install out of the box - the included Strong-Drive SDS screws cover the full installation requirement (12 in the header, 6 in the joist) with no predrilling, reducing prep time and the chance of missing hardware on site
- Built for demanding environments - ZMAX galvanization makes this hanger a reliable long-term choice for exterior framing and treated-wood construction where standard coatings may be inadequate
- Verified performance for code-sensitive projects - as a tested and load-rated connector, the HUCQ series supports the documentation and compliance requirements common in commercial, institutional, and engineered-wood construction

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size joist member is this hanger designed for?
- This hanger is specifically designed for 5-1/8 in. x 9 in. glulam members, with a seat width of 5-1/4 in. It is not a universal-fit hanger and should be matched to that specific member size for proper fit and rated load performance.
- Are fasteners included, and is predrilling required?
- Yes, this package includes 18 Simpson Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in.). Installation requires 12 screws in the header and 6 screws in the joist. No predrilling is required, which simplifies and speeds up installation.
- Can this hanger be used in exterior or treated-wood applications?
- Yes. This hanger features ZMAX galvanization, which provides extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior conditions and applications involving treated wood, making it appropriate for those demanding environments.
- What substrates can this hanger connect a wood joist to?
- This hanger is designed to connect wood joists to wood, masonry, and concrete substrates. It can also be installed close to the end of the supporting beam, offering flexibility in structural layout.
