Face-Mount Hangers for Solid Sawn Lumber

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

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

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 carrying member's end grain, the allowable load is adjusted by a factor of 0.67.

Options

  • For both flanges concealed, order HUC
  • The HU with widths equal to or greater than 3 9/16" is available with the A flanges straight at table loads listed
  • See table-modifications table for available options and associated load capacities for HU hangers

Load Tables

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

Load Values with Nails

See Hanger Tables.

U Series Modifications and Associated Load Reduction Factors

U Series Modifications and Associated Load Reduction Factors
  1. Modified seat is sloped, skewed, or both. 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
