Simpson Solid Sawn Joist Hangers

Solid-sawn joist hangers are the backbone of dependable wood framing. Designed for dimensional lumber, these hangers keep joists locked down and load-bearing connections secure. Whether you’re building decks, floors, or roofs, Simpson offers a full lineup of hangers to handle everything from basic face-mount installs to heavy-duty or concealed applications. Each model is engineered to meet or exceed building codes, giving you confidence that the structure will hold up under real-world demands.

Simpson Concealed Face Mount Hangers (Models HUC, HUCQ)

These concealed flange hangers are the go-to when strength is non-negotiable but aesthetics matter too. Flanges tuck neatly into the wood, leaving a clean, finished look with no exposed metal. Perfect for decks, exposed beams, and architectural jobs where the structure doubles as a design feature. Built with high-strength steel and available in different sizes, they give hidden strength without sacrificing code compliance.

Simpson Face Mount Joist Hangers (Models U, LU, LUC)

The workhorses of residential and light commercial framing. These face-mount hangers are economical, versatile, and quick to install, making them a staple on any jobsite. Whether you're framing a deck or tying into a ledger, the U, LU, and LUC models provide reliable connections that keep joists locked in tight under load.

Simpson Girder Face Mount Hangers (Models LGU, MGU, HGU, HHGU)

Girder hangers are engineered for serious load transfer, making them ideal for carrying multiple joists into one beam. With options that range from light to heavy girder support, these hangers handle everything from residential floor systems to heavy timber applications. Their face-mount design allows for quick installation while still delivering high-capacity support.

Simpson HU Face Mount Hangers

HU hangers are the step up when larger joists or beams come into play. Built with thicker steel and designed for heavier loads than standard face-mount hangers, they’re commonly used in commercial flooring, decks with oversized spans, and roof systems that require more muscle.

Simpson Heavy Face Mount Hangers (Model HUS)

HUS hangers are built to take on heavy framing projects with confidence. Made for oversized lumber and higher load demands, these hangers are used where strength and safety can’t be compromised. Think multi-story framing, wide-span decks, or industrial wood construction.

Simpson Heavy Face Mount Hangers (Models HGUS, HHUS)

For the heaviest-duty applications, HGUS and HHUS hangers step in. These models push load capacity to the max, allowing contractors to frame large-scale decks, mezzanines, and structural flooring systems without worrying about shear or uplift failure. They’re engineered for jobs where only the toughest connection hardware will do.

Simpson Hip-Ridge Connectors (Models HRC, HHRC)

Hip and ridge connectors simplify tricky roof framing by securing angled rafters to ridge beams. These connectors provide a precise, code-approved solution for one of the most challenging framing details. Whether you’re building complex hip roofs or handling structural ridge applications, HRC and HHRC connectors make the job faster, cleaner, and stronger.

Simpson Joist Hangers (Model MUS)

MUS hangers provide standard face-mount solutions for solid-sawn joists, offering a balance of economy and strength. They’re used across a wide range of framing jobs, from residential decks to interior floors, and are a solid choice for general-purpose applications.

Simpson LUS Joist Hangers

LUS hangers are one of the most common models on jobsites. They’re economical, quick to install, and provide reliable support for standard joist-to-ledger or beam-to-joist connections. The double-shear nailing feature improves load distribution while reducing fastener count, saving both time and materials.

Simpson Panelized Construction Hangers (Models HFN, F)

Panelized construction demands fast, repetitive connections, and these hangers are designed to meet that need. Models like HFN and F simplify installation by providing consistent, code-compliant performance in prefabricated floor and wall systems. They’re built for production environments where speed and reliability are critical.

Simpson Post Frame Hangers (Models PF, PFB, PFDB)

Post-frame hangers are tailored for agricultural and pole barn construction. Models like PF, PFB, and PFDB deliver strong, secure connections between purlins, trusses, and posts. These hangers hold up under demanding conditions while simplifying framing layouts in barns, sheds, and outbuildings.

Simpson Purlin Top-Flange Hangers (Models WP, HWP, HWPH, WMU)

Purlin top-flange hangers are designed for horizontal framing where joists or purlins sit on top of beams. These models make for clean, flush fits and are especially popular in roof framing and industrial construction. Heavy-duty variations like the HWP and HWPH are built to carry substantial loads across wide spans.

Simpson Rafter Hangers (Model LRUZ)

LRUZ hangers are adjustable rafter hangers made for pitched roof connections. They allow rafters to tie into ridge beams or walls securely while accommodating slope angles. They save time on layout and ensure a precise fit in sloped roof systems.

Simpson Rafter Hangers (Models LSSJ, LSSR)

These hangers provide flexible rafter-to-beam connections with options for adjustable skew and slope. Contractors reach for them on complex rooflines where angles vary and strength can’t be compromised. They’re engineered for ease of installation and reliable load transfer.

Simpson Retrofit Hangers (Model NRUZ)

NRUZ retrofit hangers are designed for existing framing where you need to add or reinforce joist connections without tearing everything apart. They’re perfect for repair work, deck upgrades, or remodeling where new joists meet old framing.

Simpson Rough Cut Joist Hangers (Models UR, LUR)

Built for rough-cut lumber, these hangers provide a secure fit for non-standard sizes that don’t match today’s dimensional lumber. They’re essential for restoration projects, timber framing, or custom jobs where rough-sawn boards are used.

Simpson Skewed 45 Degree Hangers (Models SUR, SUL, HSUR, HSUL)

Skewed hangers make angled framing simple. These models hold joists at a 45-degree angle, perfect for hip joists, diagonal framing, or custom layouts. Even with the skew, they maintain high load capacity and ensure the connection stays solid under stress.

Simpson Top Flange Joist Hangers (Model HUSTF)

HUSTF hangers provide top-flange support for ledger-mounted framing. Designed for larger joists, they keep loads properly distributed while allowing flush, strong connections in floors and decks.

Simpson Top Flange Joist Hangers (Models BA, JB, LB)

These top-flange hangers are made for versatility in ledger framing. They sit neatly on top of the supporting member, allowing fast installation and flush alignment. Common in decks and residential flooring systems, they balance cost-effectiveness with reliable performance.

Simpson Top Flange Joist Hangers (Models HUTF, HUCTF)

HUTF and HUCTF hangers are specialized for top-mount framing applications where a flush connection is key. They provide a sleek, strong fit that blends into the structure, making them a favorite for both practical framing and visible architectural work.
