LUS/LU/U Face Mount Joist Hangers – Reliable Connections for Everyday Framing
The Simpson Strong-Tie LUS, LU and U Face Mount Hangers cover the everyday end of solid sawn joist hanging: light to standard-duty connections for deck framing, floor joists, and general residential construction. Each series solves a slightly different problem, so picking the right one comes down to what your project needs.
LUS, LU, and U: What's the Difference?
- LUS hangers use double-shear nailing, which spreads the load across two points on each joist nail. That means fewer nails, faster installs, and higher allowable loads than a standard hanger of the same size. A solid pick when you want more capacity without stepping up to a heavier connector.
- LU hangers are value-engineered: precision-formed for an easy install at a lower cost, built for light-duty framing where double-shear capacity isn't needed.
- U hangers are Simpson's standard, general-purpose face mount hanger. Flexible fastener options and tested allowable loads for straightforward joist-to-header connections.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Double-Shear Nailing (LUS): Distributes load through two points per nail for greater strength with fewer fasteners.
- Value-Engineered Design (LU): Economical, precision-formed hangers for light-duty applications.
- Standard Versatility (U): Flexible fastener selection for everyday joist-to-header installs.
- Galvanized Finish: Standard G90 galvanized, with select LUS sizes available in ZMAX or stainless steel.
- Solid Sawn Compatible: Sized for standard dimensional lumber, from 2x4 up through 6x10, including rough-cut and multi-ply (double/triple) options.
Installation Guide for LUS/LU/U Hangers
- Position the hanger against the header or beam at the correct height for your joist.
- Fasten the hanger to the header using the fasteners specified for that model. LUS hangers use double-shear nailing, so don't bend or remove the nailing tabs.
- Set the joist into the hanger and fasten through the joist flanges.
- Fill every specified fastener hole to reach the hanger's full rated load.
Find the Right Hanger for Your Project
Not sure whether LUS, LU, or U is the right fit? If your span or load calls for more than a standard connection, LUS is usually the better value before jumping to a heavy-duty hanger. For lighter joists and tighter budgets, LU keeps things simple. Need something outside this range, like solid sawn timber sizes, I-joists, or SCL? Browse our full lineup of Simpson Joist Hangers.
