Simpson Strong-Tie HUS hanger is a heavy capacity joist hanger that utilizes double shear nailing for added strength. This innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. It also allows the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of standard nails for all connections. The Strong-Tie HUS210 face mount joist hanger features a G90 galvanized finish for corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.
Installation:
- Use all specified fasteners.
- Joist nails must be driven at an angle through the joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads.
- Not designed for welded or nailer applications.
- Do not use double-shear hangers with I-joists.
- With 2x carrying members: when 0.162″ x 3 1/2″ nails are specified, use 0.148″ x 1 1/2″ nails into the header and 0.148″ x 3″ nails into the joist and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table values. When 0.148″ x 3″ nails are specified, use 0.148″ x 1 1/2″ nails into the header and 0.148″ x 3″ nails into the joist and reduce the load to 0.77 of the table values.
- With 3x carrying members: when 0.162″ x 3 1/2″ nails are specified, use 0.162″ x 2 1/2″ nails into the header and 0.162″ x 3 1/2″ nails into the joist with no load reduction. When 0.148″ x 3″ nails are specified, use 0.148″ x 2 1/2″ nails into the header and 0.148″ x 3″ nails into the joist with no load reduction.
NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
