The Simpson Strong-Tie HHUS series is designed for heavy-duty structural applications where high load capacity and superior corrosion resistance are required. Featuring a ZMAX galvanized coating, these extra-heavy U-shaped hangers offer double the corrosion resistance of standard G90 galvanized steel, making them ideal for use with pressure-treated lumber and exterior applications exposed to moisture.

Key Features:

• ZMAX Galvanized Coating: Provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for pressure-treated wood and outdoor environments.
• Extra-Heavy Load Capacity: Built to support substantial loads in wood framing and engineered wood applications.
• Double-Shear Nailing: Transfers loads through two points on each joist nail, increasing connection strength and reducing the number of required fasteners.
• Versatile Installation: Can be installed after the beam is in place, allowing for easier framing and retrofit applications.

Installation:

• Fasteners: Use manufacturer-recommended hot-dip galvanized nails or screws to maintain corrosion resistance. Joist nails should be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header for maximum load performance.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with solid sawn lumber and plated trusses. Not intended for I-joists or welded applications.
• Code Compliance: Meets industry standards for strength and durability in high-exposure environments.

Applications:

• Deck Construction: Ideal for attaching deck joists to beams in outdoor environments with high moisture exposure.
• Framing & Structural Support: Provides secure connections for floor and ceiling joists in residential and commercial buildings.
• Post & Beam Connections: Ensures reliable fastening of horizontal members to vertical supports.
• Plated Trusses: Designed for connecting plated trusses in demanding applications.

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