Simpson Strong-Tie Hangers
Simpson Strong-Tie Joist, Rafter, and Truss Hangers
This is the largest Simpson Strong-Tie collection after screws. Face-mount hangers include the LU, LUS, HU, HGUS, and HHUS lines, plus LUC and HUC concealed-flange models. Top-flange options include JB, JBA, HUS-TF, ITS, and BA hangers for engineered wood. Skewed SUR and SUL hangers, LSSJ jack hangers, LSSR and LRUZ field-adjustable rafter hangers, THA truss hangers, NRUZ retrofit hangers, and PFUD post-frame hangers handle the odd angles.
What to Look For
- Member size. Match the hanger to the joist or beam size, single or double ply, sawn or engineered.
- Mounting. Face-mount nails to the header face. Top-flange hooks over the header.
- Angle. Skewed, slopeable, and field-adjustable hangers fit hips, valleys, and angled walls.
- Finish. Use ZMAX galvanized hangers with treated lumber outdoors.

Simpson Strong-Tie Hangers FAQ
What does the hanger name tell me?
The letters give the series and the numbers give the size. LUS26 is an LUS face-mount hanger for a 2x6. A -2 suffix means double ply, and a Z suffix means ZMAX galvanized.
Do I need a special hanger for I-joists?
Yes. Engineered wood hangers such as the ITS, IUS, and BA are sized to I-joist and LVL depths and widths, listed in the title, such as 2-5/16" x 14" or 3-1/2" x 9-1/2".
