Product Description
The Simpson HUCQ612Z-SDSG HUCQ ZMAX Heavy 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. Designed to support nominal 6x12 lumber, this face-mount hanger features concealed header flanges that keep connections clean and unobtrusive in exposed framing conditions. The included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws drive directly into the wood with no predrilling required, delivering high load capacity alongside straightforward installation. ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a reliable choice for exterior construction and treated-wood applications.
Key Features
- Concealed header flanges - keep the hanger out of sight in exposed framing, delivering cleaner lines without sacrificing structural performance
- Tested, load rated, and code compliant - HUCQ-series hangers meet established standards, giving builders confidence in structural integrity and inspection approval
- Included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no predrilling required, so installation is faster and the job site stays efficient without sacrificing load capacity
- Compatible with wood, masonry, and concrete headers - broadens the range of projects this single hanger can handle, reducing the need for multiple connector types
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength required for structures where additional safety factors are specified
- ZMAX galvanized finish - offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making it well suited for exterior environments and contact with treated lumber
Why This Product
- Hardware-included convenience - each hanger ships with the correct quantity of 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS screws already matched to this connector, so there is nothing additional to source before work begins
- No-predrill installation - the SDS screws are engineered to drive directly into framing members, cutting installation time on large joist layouts where drilling every hole would otherwise slow the crew down
- Built for demanding environments - the ZMAX coating makes this hanger a purpose-built solution for exterior decks, covered porches, and pressure-treated framing where standard galvanized connectors may fall short over time
- Flexible header compatibility - the concealed-flange design allows installation close to the end of the supporting beam and works across wood, masonry, and concrete headers, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of residential and commercial structural connections
