The Simpson HUS210Z HUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger from Simpson is built for structural framing applications where higher load values are a priority. Designed to support double 2x10 joists, this face-mount hanger seats firmly beneath the joist to create a strong, reliable connection at the beam. Its 16-gauge steel construction and ZMAX galvanized finish make it a dependable choice for exterior framing and treated-lumber applications where long-term durability against corrosion is essential.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing design - distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength than single-shear alternatives and making this hanger well-suited for higher-load structural connections.
• Fewer nails required with standard nail compatibility - the double-shear design allows for faster installation using standard nails for all connections, reducing labor time and simplifying the fastening process.
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for demanding framing applications, giving builders confidence in the hanger's ability to handle elevated loads.
• ZMAX galvanized coating - offers extra corrosion resistance beyond standard galvanization, making this hanger a reliable choice for exterior installations and connections to pressure-treated lumber where moisture and chemical exposure are concerns.
• Fixed tab design (tabs must not be bent or removed) - the hanger is engineered to perform as designed when installed as-is, ensuring the structural integrity of the connection is maintained as intended.
• 1-5/8 in. seat width for double 2x10 members - precisely sized to fit double 2x10 joists, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a snug, properly supported fit in the framing assembly.

Why This Product

• Engineered for high-load framing - the double-shear nailing system sets this hanger apart for applications where standard connectors fall short, making it a smart choice for structural projects demanding greater strength at each joist connection.
• Faster, simpler installation - compatibility with standard nails and a reduced nail count means crews spend less time on each connection without sacrificing load performance, keeping framing projects on schedule.
• Built to resist corrosion in tough environments - the ZMAX galvanized finish goes beyond standard coatings to protect against the moisture and chemicals commonly found in treated lumber and outdoor framing conditions, supporting a longer service life.
• American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - produced by Simpson, a name widely recognized in structural hardware, this hanger reflects consistent manufacturing standards for professional framing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the HUS210Z suitable for higher-load applications?

The HUS210Z features double-shear nailing, which distributes the load through two points on each joist nail. This design provides greater strength compared to standard single-shear hangers, making it ideal for applications where higher load values are needed.

What type of nails should be used to install the HUS210Z?

The HUS210Z should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails. The double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails and standard nails for all connections, contributing to faster installation.

Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the HUS210Z well-suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where standard galvanized coatings may not provide adequate protection against moisture and chemicals found in treated lumber.

Can the tabs on the HUS210Z be bent or removed to fit the installation?

No. The tabs on the HUS210Z must not be bent or removed. The hanger cannot be modified in any way. It is designed to be installed as-is after the beam is secured in place.
