It accepts doubled 2x8 lumber and uses double-shear nailing to distribute load through two points on each joist nail, increasing connection strength without requiring specialty fasteners. Common nails work with this hanger, keeping fastener costs and installation time low. The Z-Max coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for treated lumber applications where standard galvanized hardware is not rated. Carpenters, framers, and structural contractors install this hanger as part of floor, deck, and roof framing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hanger is used in residential and light commercial wood framing where doubled 2x8 joists are specified. Typical applications include floor joist connections to a ledger or header, deck framing, and engineered lumber headers. The double-shear nailing pattern reduces the nail count needed to achieve rated load values, which speeds up installation on production framing jobs. The LUS28-2Z is suited for use with ACQ, CA, and other preservative-treated lumber systems that require corrosion-resistant hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-shear nailing distributes load through two points per joist nail for increased connection strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts doubled 2x8 lumber for common floor and deck framing configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with all common nails — no specialty fasteners required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZ-Max coating provides elevated corrosion resistance for use with preservative-treated lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEconomical design reduces installed cost on production framing projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style structural replacement and new-installation hanger for doubled 2x8 dimensional lumber in residential and light commercial wood framing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified framers or structural carpenters in accordance with local building codes and the manufacturer's published load tables. Fasten using the nail schedule specified in the engineering data for the rated load application — do not substitute smaller or fewer fasteners than required. Inspect the hanger seat and flanges for proper lumber bearing before fastening the joist. Use only Z-Max or stainless steel fasteners when installing into preservative-treated lumber to maintain corrosion resistance integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumber Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double 2x8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Z-Max (enhanced corrosion resistance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Common nails\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNailing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double-shear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: LUS28-2Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690386325810,"sku":"LUS28-2Z","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a6e360aae0cc91c9b46d867bf55b3144.jpg?v=1788269758","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-lus28-2z-double-2x8-joist-hanger","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
