Simpson Strong Tie LUS26-2Z Double 2x6 Joist Hanger

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LUS26-2Z is a double joist hanger designed to support 2-inch by 6-inch dimensional lumber in structural framing assemblies. It features a Z-Max corrosion-resistant coating that extends service life in both interior and exterior environments, including applications where treated lumber is used. The double configuration increases load-bearing capacity compared to single-ply hangers, making it a reliable choice for floor systems, deck framing, and roof structures. Licensed contractors and structural carpenters install this hanger where code-compliant, positive-angle connections between joists and headers or beams are required.

The LUS26-2Z is suited for residential and light commercial framing projects where double 2x6 lumber members must be supported at perpendicular connections. Typical applications include floor joist framing, deck construction, and ledger-to-beam connections. The Z-Max coating makes it compatible with ACQ, CA, and similar pressure-treated lumber chemistries that can accelerate corrosion in standard galvanized hardware. This hanger ships in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for larger framing jobs.

Key Features

• Accepts double 2x6 dimensional lumber for higher load capacity than single hangers
• Z-Max coating provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and treated-lumber applications
• Engineered for residential and commercial framing systems
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 hangers per unit of measure
• Designed for positive structural connections at joist-to-header and joist-to-beam intersections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use with double 2x6 dimensional lumber in standard residential and light commercial framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed carpenters or structural contractors following local building codes and the International Residential Code (IRC). Fasten using manufacturer-specified joist hanger nails or structural screws that fill all provided nail holes to achieve rated load values — substituting fasteners can void load ratings. Inspect the connection point and ensure the header or beam is properly supported before loading the hanger. Do not modify the hanger by bending, cutting, or drilling additional holes.
