Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the HUS28Z different from a standard joist hanger?
- The HUS28Z is designed specifically for applications where higher load values are needed. Its double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength than conventional single-shear hangers.
- What type of nails are required to install the HUS28Z?
- This hanger is installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails. The double-shear nailing design also allows for the use of fewer nails overall while maintaining a strong, code-compliant connection.
- Is the HUS28Z suitable for use with treated lumber or in exterior applications?
- Yes. The ZMAX galvanization coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making the HUS28Z well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood.
- Can the tabs on the HUS28Z be bent or removed to fit a specific application?
- No. The tabs on the HUS28Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the hanger in this way is not permitted and may compromise the integrity and load rating of the connection.
