Simpson Strong-Tie HGUS26-2 - Double 2x6 Face Mount Hanger - G90 Galvanized
Face-Mount Hangers for Solid Sawn Lumber
The HGUS is an extra-heavy-capacity hanger for applications requiring girder support. This girder hanger features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. Value-engineered, the HGUS is designed to carry high loads for an economical price.

- With 3x carrying members: when 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails are specified, use 0.162" x 2-1/2" nails into the header and 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails into the joist with no load reduction. When 0.148" x 3" nails are specified, use 0.148" x 2-1/2" nails into the header and 0.148" x 3" nails into the joist with no load reduction.
- With 2x carrying members: when 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails are specified, use 0.148" x 1-1/2" nails into the header and 0.148" x 3" nails into the joist and reduce the load to 0.64 of the table values. When 0.148" x 3" nails are specified, use 0.148" x 1-1/2" nails into the header and 0.148" x 3" nails into the joist and reduce the load to 0.77 of the table values. See Fastener Design Information.
