The Simpson Strong‑Tie LUS ZMAX® Face‑Mount Joist Hanger is a versatile structural hanger designed to support wood joists where they meet ledger boards, beams, or headers in deck framing and general construction. Engineered with a double‑shear nailing design, this hanger distributes load through paired fasteners on each joist nail for enhanced strength and load capacity, and the integrated speed prongs help hold the hanger in place during installation. LUS hangers are available in a range of sizes to fit common lumber dimensions, and the ZMAX® finish provides superior corrosion resistance for exterior and treated‑wood conditions.
Key Specifications:
Connector Type: Face‑mount joist hanger
Construction: 18‑gauge steel with ZMAX® (G185) galvanized coating for improved outdoor corrosion resistance
Finish: ZMAX® galvanization suitable for exterior and treated wood applications
Design Feature: Patented double‑shear nailing spreads load across two nail points per joist fastener
Installation Aids: Integrated speed prongs to temporarily hold hanger during installation
Sizes Available: Models fit a variety of joist dimensions
Mounting Type: Face mount to header or ledger
LUS hangers are commonly selected when joists need secure, load‑rated support with minimal visible hardware. The combination of double‑shear nailing and corrosion‑resistant finish helps ensure long‑term performance in deck framing, porch roofs, and other outdoor structures that require durable joist connections.
