Fabricated from 18-gauge ZMAX galvanized steel, this hanger mounts flush against the lumber face, hiding the flange from view while maintaining a secure, load-rated connection. It is sized for 2x6 nominal lumber and is part of a series that also covers 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 members. Carpenters, framers, and structural contractors install this hanger where both structural performance and a clean finish are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe LUC26Z is well suited for end-of-ledger, end-of-header, and post-to-beam conditions where a standard face-mount hanger would be visible or intrusive. It is particularly useful in exposed overhead deck framing where aesthetics matter alongside structural requirements. The concealed flange design eliminates the protruding nailing tabs associated with conventional hangers, delivering a neater profile without sacrificing holding strength. Applications include residential deck construction, interior floor framing, and commercial light-wood-frame projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcealed flange design hides hardware in exposed framing conditions such as overhead decks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for 2x6 nominal lumber; series covers 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18-gauge ZMAX galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in treated-lumber and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited for end-of-ledger, end-of-header, and post conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValue-engineered profile balances load capacity, material economy, and installation speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 2x6 nominal dimensional lumber; the LUC26Z series also accommodates 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 members in corresponding size variants.

Use only the fastener type and quantity specified on the product load table for the installed size; substituting fastener counts or types voids the load rating. Ensure the lumber member is fully seated in the hanger seat before driving fasteners. In outdoor or treated-lumber applications, use fasteners rated for the coating level of the hanger to prevent galvanic corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumber Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2x6 nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-gauge ZMAX galvanized steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIMPSON STRONG-TIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: LUC26Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715716809010,"sku":"LUC26Z","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b27c902e4a0093e147931741e9816fd6.jpg?v=1788517628","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-luc26z-concealed-flange-joist-hanger","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
