All hangers in this series have double shear nailing - an innovation that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.

Double shear hangers range from the light capacity LUS hangers to the highest capacity HGUS hangers. For medium load truss applications, the MUS offers a lower cost alternative and easier installation than the HUS or THA hangers, while providing greater load capacity and bearing than the LUS.

Material: See tables.

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX®; see Corrosion Information.

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.
• With 3x carrying members, use 16d x 2 1/2" nails into the header and 16d commons into the joist with no load reduction. With single 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 and MUS hangers cannot be modified.
• HUS hangers available with the header flanges turned in for 2-2x (3 1/8") and 4x only, with no load reduction. See HUSC Concealed Flange illustration below.
• Concealed flanges are not available for HGUS and HHUS.
• See Hanger Options, for sloped and/or skewed HHUS models.
• Other sizes available; consult your Simpson representative.
