HU Heavy Face-Mount Joist Hanger

Face-Mount Hangers for Engineered Wood

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Face-Mount Hangers for Engineered Wood. You can also view product information related to the categories of: Face-Mount Hangers for Solid Sawn Lumber, Face-Mount Masonry Hangers, Joist Framing Connectors for Cold-Formed Steel Construction

The HU is designed for structures requiring additional strength and safety factors. Some models of this heavy-duty, face-mount hanger can be special ordered with a skewable seat and a seat that slopes as far as up to 45°.

Key Features

  • Added triangular holes on most models for additional load capacity
  • HU-series hangers are tested, load rated and code compliant

Material

  • 14 gauge (68 mil)

Finish

  • Galvanized. Some products available in ZMAX® coating; see Corrosion Information.

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
  • Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values.
  • Joists sloped up to 1/4:12 achieve table loads.
  • For installations to masonry or concrete, see HU in masonry.
  • Can be welded to a steel member. Allowable loads are the lesser of the values in the hanger tables or the weld capacity — refer to technical bulletin HU/HUC Welded onto Steel Members (T-C-HUHUC-W).
  • When nailing into solid sawn carrying member's end grain, the allowable load is adjusted by a factor of 0.67.

Options

  • For both flanges concealed, order HUC
  • See table-modifications table for available options and associated load capacities for HU hangers
  • For ease of ordering, refer to technical bulletin U/HU Hangers (T-C-U-HU-WS)

Load Tables

See Hanger Options for hanger modifications, which may result in reduced loads.

HU/HUC Series Modifications and Associated Load Reduction Factors

U Series Modifications and Associated Load Reduction Factors
  1. Modified seat is sloped, skewed, or both. For stainless-steel hangers, if sloped only or skewed only, use a smooth-shank stainless-steel reduction of 0.65.
  2. For hanger applications with both flanges concealed, W must be at least 2 5/16". To order, ask for HUCXXX. For skewed HUC, only flange on acute side is concealed.
  3. Skews over 50° require a square-cut joist.
Reduction Factor Instructions

Allowable Download =
  Seat x Flange x Stainless Steel Nails x Other Fastener Substitutions x Table Load
Allowable Uplift =
  0.75 x Face Fastener Type x Table Load for skewed or sloped
  1.00 x Face Fastener Type x Table Load for non-skewed or non-sloped
