Simpson Strong-tie LU210 Joist Hanger 2x10 20 Gauge

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE LU210 is a 20-gauge galvanized steel joist hanger designed to provide a secure, load-bearing connection between 2x10 lumber and a supporting header or beam. Built for residential and light commercial framing applications, this hanger transfers vertical loads from the joist to the supporting structure without relying on toenailing alone. Speed prongs are stamped into the hanger to hold it in place during fastener installation, keeping the hanger positioned correctly while the installer drives nails. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this hardware as part of standard wood-frame floor and roof systems.

The LU210 is suited for floor joist framing, deck framing, and roof rafter connections where a 2x10 nominal lumber member requires positive attachment to a ledger, beam, or header. The 20-gauge galvanized construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for interior framing and covered exterior applications. This hanger is sold individually, allowing contractors to order the exact quantity needed per job.

Key Features

• 20-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in standard framing conditions
• Sized for 2x10 nominal lumber members
• Speed prongs hold the hanger in position before fasteners are driven, speeding up single-person installation
• Sold per each, allowing precise quantity ordering
• Lightweight at approximately 0.235 pounds per unit for easy handling in volume installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use with 2x10 nominal dimensional lumber in standard wood-frame construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed framer or carpenter in accordance with local building codes and IRC or IBC framing requirements. Use only the fastener type and quantity specified in the load table for this hanger to achieve rated capacity — substituting fastener sizes or counts voids the engineered load values. Ensure the supporting header or beam is level and properly sized before hanging the joist. Do not modify, cut, or bend the hanger in the field.
