Product Description
Simpson LUS28-2Z LUS ZMAX Galvanized Face-Mount Joist Hanger for Double 2x8 is an easy-to-install, economical face-mount hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to support double 2x8 and double 2x10 lumber members. Built from 18-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization for superior corrosion resistance, this hanger features a patented double-shear nailing design that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, delivering greater strength with fewer nails and faster installation. It is ideal for exterior and treated-wood applications where added corrosion protection is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used to install the LUS28-2Z?
- Install with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws: (6) #9 x 1-1/2 in. screws in the header AND (4) #9 x 2-1/2 in. screws in the joist, OR (10) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails (Models: SD9112, SD9212, 16DHDG).
- What is the benefit of the double-shear nailing design on this hanger?
- The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?
- ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the LUS28-2Z suitable for exterior and treated-wood applications where standard galvanization may not provide sufficient protection against the elements or chemicals present in treated lumber.
- Can the tabs on the LUS28-2Z be bent or removed for easier installation?
- No. The tabs on the LUS28-2Z must not be bent or removed. Modifying the tabs can compromise the structural integrity and load-rated performance of the hanger.
