The Simpson LUS210 LUS Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger by Simpson is an economical, easy-to-install hanger engineered to deliver reliable load-bearing support underneath joists, rafters, and beams in residential and light commercial framing. Its patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, giving you a stronger connection with fewer fasteners - making it a widely trusted solution for securing common lumber members in floor framing, deck construction, and structural framing applications.

Key Features

• Patented double-shear nailing design - distributes load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength while requiring fewer nails for a faster, reliable connection
• Speed prongs - hold the hanger in position during installation so you can work more efficiently, even on large framing projects
• Angled joist nailing - allows fasteners to be driven at an angle, making it easier to complete connections in confined or tight spaces
• Compatible with multiple nominal lumber sizes (2x10, 2x12, 2x14) - gives you flexibility across different framing configurations without needing multiple hanger models
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a solid, durable base that holds up under structural loading demands
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for moisture-prone environments where bare steel would deteriorate
• Accepts all common nails - eliminates the need for specialty fasteners, simplifying your material list and keeping installation straightforward

Why This Product

• Fewer nails, faster installs without sacrificing strength - the patented double-shear nailing geometry means each nail carries load at two shear planes, so you drive fewer fasteners while meeting demanding connection requirements
• Built-in installation features reduce labor time - speed prongs and angled joist nailing work together to make positioning and fastening quicker, a real advantage when installing multiple hangers across a large framing job
• G90 galvanized coating adds long-term durability - the zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic corrosion protection, making this hanger a dependable choice for decks, crawl spaces, and other environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Versatile fit for common framing lumber - compatibility with 2x10, 2x12, and 2x14 members means one hanger model handles multiple structural scenarios, reducing the number of SKUs you need to stock or source for a project

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the double-shear nailing design on the LUS210 beneficial?

The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This allows for fewer nails and faster installation while still achieving a strong, reliable connection using all common nails.

What lumber sizes is the LUS210 compatible with?

The LUS210 is designed for a nominal joist size of 2x10, and is also compatible with 2x12 and 2x14 lumber members.

What fasteners should be used to install the LUS210?

Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (8) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (12) 0.148 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 10DHDG).

Is the LUS210 suitable for outdoor or corrosion-prone environments?

Yes. The LUS210 is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
