Simpson Strong Tie LU28 Joist Hanger 2x8 Framing

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LU28 is a standard joist hanger designed to carry 2x8 dimensional lumber in wood-framed floor and roof assemblies. It creates a positive mechanical connection between the joist and the supporting beam or ledger, transferring vertical loads and resisting lateral movement. Licensed framers and structural carpenters install this hanger during rough framing to meet code-required connections at joist-to-beam interfaces. The LU28 is sold in a package of 100 units, making it a practical quantity for production framing crews on residential and light commercial jobsites.

This hanger is used in residential and commercial wood-frame construction wherever 2x8 joists bear against a beam, header, or rim board. Typical applications include floor framing, deck framing, and roof framing assemblies that require a reliable, load-rated metal connector at each joist seat. The package quantity of 100 supports full-bay or full-floor installations without repeated reordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed framers or structural carpenters in accordance with the applicable building code and the manufacturer published load tables. Fasten the hanger using only the nail or screw type and quantity specified in the connector schedule, as substituting fastener size or count affects the rated load capacity. Do not field-modify the hanger by bending, cutting, or drilling additional holes. Inspect each installed hanger for full nail fill before covering with subfloor or decking material.
