Simpson Strong-Tie HUCQ hangers are heavy duty connectors designed for schools and other structures requiring additional strength, longevity and safety factors. Most models can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values. The Strong-Tie HUCQ5.25/9Z-SDSG face mount joist hanger features a ZMAX G185 finish for corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

• Use all specified fasteners.
• HUCQ—Install 1/4"x2-1/2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (provided) in all round holes. Lag screws will not achieve the same load.
• With 3x carrying members, use 16dx2-1/2" (0.162" dia. x 2-1/2" long) nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With 2x carrying members, use 10dx1-1/2" (0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long) nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table value.

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