The Simpson Strong-Tie HHUS series is built for heavy-duty applications where high load capacity and superior durability are required. These extra-heavy U-shaped hangers feature G90 galvanized steel for enhanced corrosion resistance, making them ideal for general outdoor and interior applications where added protection against the elements is needed. The innovative double-shear nailing design distributes the load more efficiently, increasing strength and reducing the number of nails required.

Key Features:

• G90 Galvanized Coating: Provides a higher level of corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exterior and treated lumber applications.
• Extra-Heavy Load Capacity: Designed to support substantial structural 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 fasteners needed.
• Versatile Installation: Can be installed after the beam is in place, making it ideal for new construction and retrofit applications.

Installation:

• Fasteners: Use manufacturer-recommended nails for optimal performance. Joist nails should be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to maximize load capacity.
• Compatibility: Suitable for solid sawn lumber and plated truss applications. Not intended for use with I-joists or welded applications.
• Code Compliance: Meets industry standards for strength and reliability in structural connections.

Applications:

• Framing & Structural Support: Provides secure connections for floor and ceiling joists in residential and commercial buildings.
• Deck Construction: Ideal for attaching deck joists to beams in outdoor applications.
• Post & Beam Connections: Ensures reliable fastening of horizontal members to vertical supports.
• Plated Trusses: Designed to connect plated trusses efficiently while maintaining structural integrity.

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