Simpson Strong-Tie LUS214-2 - Double 2x14 Face Mount Hanger - G90 Galvanized

Face-Mount Hangers for Solid Sawn Lumber

The LUS is an easy-to-install, economical hanger designed for common lumber sizes. This widely used hanger features double-shear nailing 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.

Installation

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Joist 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: 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.
