Simpson Strong Tie HGUS412 Beam Hanger 4x12

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HGUS412 is a heavy-duty beam hanger designed to provide structural support for 4x12 lumber members including joists, rafters, and beams in wood-framed construction. Fabricated from 12-gauge galvanized steel, this hanger delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and exterior applications. The double-shear nailing pattern distributes load across the connection efficiently, reducing the total number of fasteners required while maintaining rated load capacity. Carpenters, framers, and structural contractors install this hanger as part of standard wood-frame assemblies wherever positive beam-to-ledger or beam-to-header connections are required.

The HGUS412 is suited for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction. Typical applications include floor framing, roof framing, and deck construction where a 4x12 nominal lumber member must be supported by a header, ledger, or carrying beam. The hanger accommodates standard nails, eliminating the need for specialty fasteners on most installs. Each package contains 12 hangers, making it practical for multi-bay framing runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed framers or carpenters following local building codes and the manufacturer's load tables. Do not bend, cut, or remove any pre-formed tabs during installation, as this can compromise the rated load capacity of the connection. Fasten with the nail type and quantity specified in the manufacturer's load table for the application; substituting fasteners may void code compliance. Consult applicable building codes and a structural engineer where required by the authority having jurisdiction.
