Simpson Strong-Tie PFUD24 - PFUD 20-Gauge Post-Frame Under-Saddle Hanger for 2x4 Joist and 1-Ply Truss

The Simpson Strong-Tie PFUD post-frame under-saddle hanger is an innovative solution for post-frame construction. The PFUD hanger is designed to support ceiling joists with ease. To minimize the labor required for hanger layout, the connector is 2-sided so that one hanger supports ceiling joists on each side of a truss. Layout is further simplified by the continuous seat that fits snugly under the truss’ bottom chord, automatically aligning parts vertically for an easier, faster layout. The PFUD can also be adjusted for single-side applications by simply bending the hanger in the field and separating it along the perforations to create two face-mounted options.

Key Features

• Reduces connector layout labor costs by half, as each unit supports two joists versus separate face-mounted hangers
• Load-rated for joist tension forces; ideal for ceiling panels acting as diaphragms or bottom chord truss bracing
• Easily halved along under-saddle perforations for one-sided use, eliminating the need for additional face-mounted hangers
• Offers greater reliability and load capacity than toe-nailed ceiling joists
• Compatible with both nails and screws for load-rated performance
• Fully tested and code listed to ensure strength, durability and peace of mind for specifiers and builders
• Nominal joist size: 2x4
• Fits 1-ply trusses
• Made from 20-gauge steel
• Galvanized (G90) for corrosion resistance
