About Joist, Beam & Rafter Hangers
Hangers are the most common connector on a framing or deck job, and Simpson Strong-Tie makes them for nearly every condition. Styles include face-mount, top-flange and concealed-flange, for solid sawn lumber, engineered wood, plated trusses and masonry.
Popular families include the LUS light-capacity U-shaped hanger with double-shear nailing, the HU heavy face-mount joist hanger, and the HUC and HUCQ concealed-flange hangers, the latter installed with SDS screws. Rafter work is covered by the LRUZ face-mount rafter hanger, LSSR slopeable and skewable rafter hanger, LSSJ jack hanger and HRC hip-ridge connector. Specialty options include DGT and DGHT fire wall hangers, ACBH and CBH concealed beam hangers, the PFUD post-frame hanger and the WMU masonry hanger. Finishes include galvanized, ZMAX and stainless steel depending on model.
Simpson's Hanger Selector web app helps match a hanger to member size and load. For exterior and treated lumber, ask about the right finish. For a quote, send models, member sizes, quantities and nails or screws.
