Simpson Strong-tie HGUS5.50/10 Double Face Mount Hanger

Product Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie HGUS5.50/10 is a double face mount hanger designed for structural wood framing connections. This connector attaches to the face of a carrying member and supports the load-bearing end of a joist or beam, distributing vertical loads into the header or girder. It is a single-unit hanger sold individually and weighs 2.65 pounds. Licensed contractors, structural carpenters, and framing crews use this type of connector in wood-frame construction where code-compliant, load-rated connections are required between framing members.

This hanger is used in residential and light commercial wood framing applications. Typical installation scenarios include floor joist connections to header beams, deck framing, and engineered lumber installations where a face-mount attachment is preferred over top-flange styles. It is sold as a single piece, making it straightforward to order exact quantities for a given framing layout.
