Simpson Strong-tie LUS210Z 2x10 Joist Hanger

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE LUS210Z is a single joist hanger engineered for 2x10 dimensional lumber. It uses a double-shear nailing pattern that transfers load through two points on each joist nail, increasing connection strength without requiring specialty fasteners. All common nails are compatible with this hanger, and the formed-steel design allows for fast field installation. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard interior framing applications. Structural contractors, finish carpenters, and framing crews use this hanger on residential and light commercial floor and deck framing assemblies.

The LUS210Z is intended for use with nominal 2x10 lumber in floor joist, header, and beam connections. It is a widely specified hanger in residential platform framing where a cost-effective, code-recognized connector is required. The double-shear nail pattern allows fewer nails to achieve the rated load capacity compared to single-shear alternatives, which speeds installation on repetitive framing runs.

Key Features

• Double-shear nailing distributes load through two points on each joist nail for higher connection strength
• Compatible with all common nails — no specialty fasteners required
• Sized for nominal 2x10 dimensional lumber
• Zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for standard framing environments
• Economical per-unit cost suited for high-volume framing applications
• Straightforward installation reduces labor time on repetitive joist runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit connector for nominal 2x10 lumber in residential and light commercial wood-frame floor and roof assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed framers or general contractors following local building code requirements and the manufacturer load tables. Fasten the hanger to the header or carrying member before setting the joist, using all specified nail holes to achieve the published load rating. Do not substitute nail size or quantity, as substitutions affect the rated capacity of the connection. Verify local jurisdiction requirements, as some applications may require inspection before concealment.
