Simpson Strong Tie LUS28Z Z-max 2x8 Joist Hanger 50 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LUS28Z is a face-mount joist hanger designed for the secure attachment of 2x8 dimensional lumber in floor and ceiling framing assemblies. Finished with Z-Max coating, the hanger delivers enhanced corrosion resistance suited to treated-lumber and moisture-exposed environments. The face-mount configuration allows the hanger to be fastened directly to the carrying member, keeping the supported joist flush and aligned. Structural connectors of this type are installed by framing carpenters and structural contractors working to meet load requirements set by local building codes.

The LUS28Z is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction wherever 2x8 joists must be anchored to beams, headers, or rim boards. Typical applications include floor system framing, deck framing, and ceiling joist connections. The Z-Max finish makes it appropriate for use with ACQ, CA, and other preservative-treated lumber that would accelerate corrosion on standard galvanized hardware.

Key Features

• Z-Max finish provides elevated corrosion resistance for use with treated lumber
• Face-mount design simplifies installation against carrying members
• Engineered for 2x8 dimensional lumber framing applications
• Sold in a 50-piece package for production framing efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for standard 2x8 dimensional lumber framing in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified framing carpenters or structural contractors in accordance with local building codes and the International Residential Code (IRC) fastener schedules. Power down or de-energize any adjacent systems before working in enclosed framing cavities. Use only the fastener type and quantity specified on the connector or in the manufacturer load tables — substituting fastener size or count affects the rated load capacity. Inspect the hanger seating after fastening to confirm the joist sits fully in the seat without gaps.
