Frequently Asked Questions
- What joist or beam sizes is the HGUS5.50/12 designed to support?
- The HGUS5.50/12 is designed for a nominal 6x10 lumber, 5-1/4 in. SCL (structural composite lumber), or 5-1/2 in. glulam beam, making it compatible with a range of engineered wood products used in heavy-load applications.
- What type of nails should be used to install this hanger?
- This hanger should be installed with 16d common nails. The double-shear nailing design allows for the use of fewer nails while still achieving greater strength, and standard nails can be used for all connections.
- What does double-shear nailing mean and why does it matter?
- Double-shear nailing distributes the load through two points on each joist nail rather than one, which significantly increases the strength of the connection. This engineering advantage is what makes the HGUS series suitable for applications requiring higher load values.
- Is the HGUS5.50/12 suitable for outdoor or high-moisture environments?
- Yes. The hanger is coated with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for use in environments where exposure to moisture is a concern.
