Simpson Strong Tie LUC26Z Concealed Joist Hanger 2x6

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LUC26Z is a concealed joist hanger engineered to support 2x6 dimensional lumber in wood-framed construction. The hanger is fabricated from Z-Max coated steel, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber applications and exposed environments. The concealed design positions the hardware inside the joist pocket, keeping the metal face hidden once framing is complete. Structural connectors of this type are installed by framing contractors, general carpenters, and structural trades working to code-compliant load transfer between joists and beams or ledgers.

The LUC26Z is suited for residential and light commercial framing applications where a clean, hardware-hidden appearance is required alongside reliable structural performance. Typical installations include floor joist systems, deck framing, and interior floor assemblies where 2x6 nominal lumber is specified. The unit-of-measure is sold individually (EA) and is available in packages of 25, making it practical for production framing and multi-joist layouts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed carpenters or framing contractors following applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC fastener and connector requirements. Power down any adjacent mechanical systems and secure the work area before beginning overhead or floor-system framing work. Use only the fastener type and count specified on the connector load table for the installed product. Do not substitute fastener sizes or skip pre-punched nail holes, as connector capacity depends on full fastener installation.
