Simpson Strong Tie HGUS410 Face-mount Joist Hanger

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HGUS410 is a face-mount joist hanger engineered for structural framing connections in wood construction. It is built from 12-gauge steel and uses a double-shear nailing system that distributes load across two points, reducing the total number of fasteners required while maintaining structural integrity. This hanger is designed for use with 4x10 lumber and is installed with standard 16d common nails. Licensed contractors and framing carpenters install this hardware during rough framing on both residential and light commercial projects where code-compliant connections are required at beam-to-header or joist-to-beam junctions.

This hanger is suited for face-mount applications where a 4x10 joist or beam must be connected to a supporting header or ledger. It is commonly used in floor framing, deck framing, and roof framing assemblies. The double-shear nailing geometry is particularly useful in applications where load transfer efficiency is a priority and fastener count needs to be minimized without reducing allowable load capacity. Both residential and commercial framing applications are within scope.
