The Simpson Strong-Tie HUC series offers heavy-duty, concealed-flange face-mount joist hangers designed to provide robust support and enhanced aesthetics for various construction applications. Featuring a ZMAX galvanized coating, these hangers deliver increased corrosion resistance, making them ideal for both interior and exterior projects, including those involving treated lumber.

Key Features:

• Concealed-Flange Design: The hidden header flanges offer clean lines for exposed conditions and allow installation close to the end of the supporting beam, enhancing visual appeal without compromising structural integrity.
• ZMAX Galvanized Coating: Provides extra corrosion resistance, suitable for exterior and treated-wood applications, ensuring durability in various environmental conditions.
• Versatile Applications: Designed to connect wood joists to wood, masonry, or concrete, these hangers are suitable for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood products, and cold-formed steel (CFS) joists, making them adaptable across a wide range of construction scenarios.
• Code Compliance: HUC-series hangers are tested, load-rated, and comply with building codes, ensuring reliable performance in structural applications.

Installation Notes:

• Fasteners: For ZMAX galvanized hangers, use hot-dip galvanized nails to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.
• Optional Triangle Holes: Some models feature extra optional triangle holes for additional load capacity; filling both round and triangle holes with common nails achieves maximum loads.
• Special Order Options: Certain models can be special ordered with a skewable seat and a seat that slopes up to 45 degrees, providing flexibility for various design requirements.

Applications:

• Decks & Outdoor Structures: Provides strong, concealed support for wood joists in deck construction, pergolas, and gazebos.
• Timber Framing: Ideal for exposed beam connections in architectural and decorative wood framing.
• Treated Wood & Exterior Construction: Corrosion-resistant ZMAX coating makes it suitable for structures exposed to moisture, such as porches, patios, and sheds.
• Masonry & Concrete Connections: Compatible with wood-to-masonry and wood-to-concrete connections in foundation and framing applications.
• Engineered Wood & Cold-Formed Steel: Supports engineered wood products like LVL and PSL beams, as well as cold-formed steel joists in commercial applications.

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