FACE MOUNT
HANGERS LUS/HUS/HHUS/HGUS
DOUBLE SHEAR JOIST HANGERS
|
See Hanger tables on
pages 36 to 39. See Hanger Options pages on 73 to 78 for hanger
modifications, which may result in reduced loads.
These hangers have the highest loads of any
face mount hangers!
All hangers in this series have double shear
nailing. This patented innovation distributes the load through two points on each joist
nail for greater strength. It also allows the use of fewer nails, faster installation, and
the use of common nails for all connections.
LUS—A light duty joist hanger with the
lowest installed cost. Speed prongs secure the LUS for easy nailing.
HUS—Provides intermediate load-carrying
capacity.
HHUS and HGUS—Connect heavily loaded
members.
MATERIAL: See
tables, pages 36 to 39.
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products
available in stainless steel or Z-MAX: see Corrosion-Resistance, page
6.
INSTALLATION
Use all specified fasteners. See General
Notes.
Nails must be driven at an angle through the
joist or truss into the header to achieve the table loads.
Not designed for welded or nailer
applications.
16d sinkers (9 gauge x 3-1/4") may be
used where 10d commons are specified with no reduction in load. Where 16d commons are
specified, 10d commons or 16d sinkers (9 gauge x 3-1/4") may be used at 0.84 of the
table load.
With 3x carrying members, use 16d x
2-1/2" nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist. With 2x carrying
members, use 10d x 1-1/2" nails into the header and 10d commons into the joist, and
reduce the
load to 0.64 of the table value.
OPTIONS:
LUS hangers cannot be modified.
HUS hangers available with the header
flanges turned in (except HUS26, HUS28 and HUS210). See HUSC Concealed Flange
illustration.
See Hanger Options,
page 75, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS models.
Other sizes available; consult your Simpson
representative.
