Simpson Strong Tie LU26 Joist Hanger 2x6

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LU26 is a standard joist hanger designed to support 2x6 dimensional lumber in wood-framed floor, deck, and roof assemblies. It creates a load-transferring connection between the joist and the carrying beam or header, keeping framing members aligned and structurally sound. The hanger is sold in a package of 100 units and weighs 18 pounds per package. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this hanger during rough framing on both residential and light commercial projects where joist-to-beam connections require consistent, code-compliant hardware.

The LU26 is used wherever 2x6 joists connect to a supporting beam, ledger board, or header. Typical applications include floor framing, deck construction, and roof framing assemblies. It suits both indoor and outdoor framing scenarios. The hanger is packaged in quantities of 100, making it practical for production framing work where multiple connections must be made efficiently across a single structure or across several units on a job site.

Key Features

• Designed to seat a standard 2x6 joist, providing a secure, aligned connection to the carrying member
• Transfers joist loads to the supporting beam or header without relying on toenail fastening alone
• Sold in a 100-unit package, supporting efficient inventory management on framing jobs
• Suitable for both interior floor framing and exterior deck or roof framing applications
• Low-profile form factor integrates into standard framing layouts without requiring dimensional adjustments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use with 2x6 nominal lumber in standard wood-framed residential and light commercial construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified framers or carpenters following applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC fastener schedule requirements. Power down any adjacent systems and secure the work area before fastening in retrofits or remodel situations. Use only the fastener type and count specified on the manufacturer load table for this hanger model to maintain rated load capacity. Do not substitute fastener sizes or skip nail holes, as this directly affects the rated connection strength.
