Simpson Strong Tie HUS1.81/10 Joist Hanger

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE HUS1.81/10 is a galvanized joist hanger engineered for use with 1-3/4 inch by 9-1/2 inch engineered lumber, including LVL, PSL, and similar engineered wood products. Constructed from 16-gauge G90 galvanized steel, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both residential and commercial framing applications. The hanger uses a double-shear nailing design that distributes load across two bearing points, improving connection strength and stability. Installation is compatible with standard nails, reducing the need for specialty fasteners on the job site. Structural carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the typical installers of this fitting.

This hanger is intended for use with engineered wood joists, rafters, or beams measuring 1-3/4 inches wide by 9-1/2 inches deep. It is appropriate for residential floor and roof framing as well as light commercial construction where engineered lumber is specified. The double-shear nail pattern supports higher load transfer, making it well suited for applications where beam-to-header or joist-to-ledger connections must meet code-required load ratings. Recommended fasteners are 0.162 inch by 3-1/2 inch nails per the manufacturer installation guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified framer or structural carpenter in accordance with applicable building codes, including local IRC or IBC requirements. Confirm all fastener counts and nail schedules meet the load table values published by the manufacturer before finalizing the connection. Do not substitute smaller-diameter or shorter nails for the specified 0.162 inch by 3-1/2 inch fasteners, as this will reduce the rated load capacity of the connection. Inspect the hanger seating and ensure full bearing contact between the hanger seat and the supported member before completing the nailing pattern.
