HU/HUS Heavy Duty Face Mount Joist Hangers – Maximum-Capacity Joist Connections

Step up from standard duty when your span, load, or code requirement calls for more. The Simpson Strong-Tie HU and HUS series are the heavy-duty tier of face mount hangers, built for solid sawn timber, I-joists, glulam, and structural composite lumber (SCL) alike. Between the two families and their range of sizes, you'll find a model rated for nearly any framing member on the jobsite.

HU vs. HUS: What's the Difference?

  • HU hangers are Simpson's do-it-all heavy-duty connector. Most models have both round and triangle nail holes, so you can fill just the round holes for standard capacity or fill both for maximum rated load, all from the same part.
  • HUS hangers use double-shear nailing across the board. That spreads each nail's load across two points, which means fewer fasteners, faster installs, and higher allowable loads than a standard connector of the same size.

Because this family spans solid sawn dimensional lumber, timbers, I-joists, and SCL/glulam, not every model fits every framing member. Check the product page for the specific joist or beam size before ordering. Many sizes (like the 6x10, 6x12, and 4x12 hangers) are rated for both a solid sawn member and a same-width engineered beam, so one part covers both.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Maximum Load Capacity: Simpson's heavy-duty tier for the biggest spans and loads in a face mount hanger.
  • HU Flexibility: Round and triangle nail holes let you dial in standard or maximum rated capacity.
  • HUS Double-Shear Nailing: Distributes load through two points per nail for greater strength with fewer fasteners.
  • Broad Size Range: Covers solid sawn 2x through 8x members, I-joists, glulam, and SCL depths.
  • Finish Options: Standard G90 galvanized, with ZMAX, stainless steel, and black-finish options on select sizes.

Installation Guide for HU/HUS Hangers

  1. Position the hanger against the header or beam at the height your joist calls for.
  2. Fasten the hanger to the header with the fasteners specified for that model. HUS hangers use double-shear nailing, so don't bend or remove the nailing tabs.
  3. For HU hangers rated for maximum load, fill both the round and triangle holes. For standard load, round holes only.
  4. Set the joist or I-joist into the hanger and fasten through the flanges.

Find the Right Hanger for Your Project

Not sure whether you need HU, HUS, or a lighter-duty hanger? If you're working with a bigger span, a heavier load, or an I-joist/SCL member, HU or HUS is usually the right call. For everyday solid sawn framing, our LUS/LU/U Light Duty Face Mount Hangers may be all you need. Browse our full lineup of Simpson Joist Hangers to compare every option.
