Simpson Strong Tie LU24 Joist Hanger 2x4

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LU24 is a precision-formed face-mount joist hanger designed to carry 2x4 dimensional lumber in light-frame wood construction. It transfers load from the supported joist to the header or carrying member, providing a positive mechanical connection where toenailing alone is inadequate. The hanger is installed with standard joist hanger nails through pre-punched nail holes, making layout and fastening straightforward for framing crews. Sold in a package of 100 units, the LU24 suits production framing environments where consistent hardware performance and job-site efficiency both matter.

The LU24 is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction anywhere a 2x4 joist, rafter, or purlin meets a beam, ledger, or rim board at a perpendicular connection. Typical applications include floor framing, roof framing, and deck framing where code-compliant metal connector hardware is required. The 100-count package quantity makes it well-suited for tract housing, multifamily framing, or decking contractors who need a reliable supply of uniform connectors on hand.

Key Features

• Precision-formed to fit standard 2x4 nominal lumber without field modification
• Pre-punched nail holes allow for fast, consistent fastener placement
• Face-mount design installs against the header face, simplifying alignment during framing
• Sold in a 100-unit package, reducing reorder frequency on production job sites
• Designed as a load-transferring connection in code-governed structural applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use with standard 2x4 nominal dimensional lumber in light-frame wood construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Joist hangers of this type are typically installed by licensed framing contractors or general carpenters following local building codes and the manufacturer's published load tables. Always use the fastener type and quantity specified in the applicable load table — substituting fastener sizes or counts affects rated load capacity. Confirm hanger orientation and seat contact before final nailing. Local inspections may require metal connector hardware to be visible and unobstructed at the time of framing inspection.
