Simpson Strong Tie LUS28-2Z Double 2x8 Joist Hanger 25 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LUS28-2Z is a face-mount joist hanger engineered for double 2x8 lumber connections in structural framing and decking applications. Formed from G185 hot-dip galvanized steel, it delivers high corrosion resistance suited for exterior, treated-lumber, and high-humidity environments. The face-mount design positions the hanger flush against the header or beam face, eliminating the need for top-flange clearance and simplifying integration into both new construction and retrofit framing assemblies. Licensed contractors and experienced framers install this hanger as part of engineered load-path systems where code-compliant, repeatable connections are required.

This hanger is used in residential and light commercial framing where double 2x8 joists bear onto a ledger, beam, or header. Typical applications include deck framing, floor systems, and roof framing where a face-mount profile is specified. The G185 galvanization level exceeds standard G90 coating, making this hanger compatible with treated lumber that contains higher-corrosivity preservatives. Each package contains 25 hangers, supporting efficient staging on larger framing jobs.

Key Features

• G185 galvanized steel construction provides elevated corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber use
• Face-mount configuration installs flush to the header or beam face without requiring top-flange clearance
• Sized for double 2x8 lumber — no field modification required for standard dimensional lumber
• Sold in 25-unit packages to support production framing workflow
• Suitable for residential and light commercial structural framing and decking assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use with double 2x8 dimensional lumber in face-mount framing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed framers or structural contractors following applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC fastener schedule requirements. Fasten with the nail or screw type and quantity specified on the hanger or in the manufacturer load table — substituting fastener type or count affects the rated load capacity. Ensure the header or beam face is plumb and free of debris before seating the hanger. Do not bend, cut, or field-modify the hanger, as doing so voids the load rating.
