Description
U — The standard U hanger provides flexibility of joist to header installation. Versatile fastener selection with tested allowable loads.
HU/HUC — Most models have triangle and round holes. To achieve maximum loads, fill both round and triangle holes with common nails.
HUCQ — Features concealed flanges so it can be installed close to the end of the supporting beam or on a post. They install with Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (supplied with the hanger) for high capacity and ease of installation.
Material
- U — 16 gauge; HU/HUC/HUCQ — 14 gauge
Finish
- Galvanized
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- HU/HUC — can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values.
- HUCQ — when using structural composite lumber columns, the capacities shown in the tables are for fasteners applied to the wide face of the column.
- Web stiffeners are required for all I-joists used with these hangers.
- HU/HUC/HUCQ hangers can be welded to a steel member. Allowable loads are the lesser of the values in the hanger tables or the weld capacity — refer to technical bulletin HU/HUC Welded Onto Steel Members (T-HUHUC-W).
- When nailing into a carrying member's end grain, the allowable load is adjusted by a factor of 0.67.
Options
- Order HUC_X hanger. For both flanges concealed, order HUC.
Sloped, Skewed and Sloped/Skewed:
- For low-cost, code-approved 45° skewed hangers, see SUR/SUL.
- For field-adjustable hangers, see LSSR.
- See modification table for available options and associated load capacities for U and HU hangers.
- HUCQ cannot be modified.
Face-Mount Hangers: Load Tables for Solid Sawn Lumber (Douglas Fir and Southern Pine)
These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
For stainless-steel fasteners, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors.
Many of these products are approved for installation with Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws. See the load values below.

- Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern.
- For minimum nailing quantity and load values, fill all round holes; for maximum nailing quantity and load values, fill all round and trianglular holes.
- DF/SP loads can be used for SCL with an equivalent specific gravity of 0.50 or greater.
- Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads in accordance with ANSI/TPI 1-2014. Simpson Strong-Tie® Connector Selector® software includes the evaluation of cross-grain tension in its hanger allowable loads. For additional information, contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
- Fasteners: Nail dimensions in the table are listed diameter by length. See other nail sizes and information.
- Hangers with an "*" do not have an Installed Cost Index.
