Simpson Strong-Tie HUSTF hangers are heavy duty 14 gauge top mount hangers. These series of hangers are not acceptable for nailer or welded applications. HUSTF has the double-shear nailing advantage – distributing the joist load through two points on each nail for greater strength. The Strong-Tie HUS48TF top flange hanger features a G90 galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
Installation:
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Not acceptable for nailer or welded applications; see W and B hangers.
- With 3x carrying members, use 16d x 2 1/2″ nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
