The Simpson Strong-Tie HUS Heavy U-Shaped Hangers are designed for superior support and load distribution in a variety of wood framing applications. Featuring a ZMAX galvanized coating, these hangers provide enhanced corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor, coastal, and high-moisture environments. Whether you're working on residential, commercial, or industrial structures, HUS hangers deliver the strength and durability needed for secure beam-to-post and joist-to-beam connections.

Engineered for solid sawn lumber, plated truss, and engineered wood, the HUS hanger series is built to accommodate different framing needs while maintaining high structural integrity. Its double-shear nailing pattern enhances load capacity while reducing required fasteners, leading to faster and more efficient installations.

Key Features:

• ZMAX Corrosion Protection: A thicker galvanized finish provides long-lasting durability, ideal for outdoor, coastal, and high-moisture environments.
• Heavy-Duty U-Shaped Design: Ensures strong, stable connections between joists and beams.
• Versatile Applications: Compatible with solid sawn lumber, plated truss, and engineered wood.
• Double-Shear Nailing Technology: Reduces the number of fasteners needed while increasing lateral stability.
• Code-Compliant Performance: Meets or exceeds ICC-ES ESR-2523, ESR-3096, and other relevant building codes.
• Wide Range of Sizes Available: Designed to fit multiple framing dimensions for various structural needs.

Applications:

• Deck Framing: Provides strong, moisture-resistant connections for deck joists and beams, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
• Multi-Family and Residential Construction: Ideal for supporting floor joists and roof framing in homes, apartments, and townhouses.
• Post-and-Beam Structures: Securely connects beams to posts, making it a great choice for barns, pavilions, and outdoor shelters.
• Trusses and Rafter Support: Offers reliable reinforcement for roof trusses and rafters in high-load applications.
• Timber-Framed Buildings: Enhances the stability of heavy timber construction, maintaining strength over time.
• Industrial Wood Structures: Designed for demanding environments, ensuring structural reliability in warehouses and large-scale buildings.
• Garage and Shed Framing: Strengthens framing connections in garages, sheds, and outbuildings exposed to weather conditions.

Installation:

• Face-Mount Installation: Secure to the supporting member with 10d or 16d nails, or Strong-Drive SD structural screws, ensuring full penetration.
• Double-Shear Nailing: Enhances the hanger’s load capacity while using fewer fasteners.
• Screw Compatibility: Can be installed with SD Structural Screws for increased holding power in engineered wood applications.
• Ensure Full Bearing Contact: The joist or beam should be fully seated in the hanger for maximum load support.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
