Simpson Strong-Tie LUS26-2Z Joist Hanger, Double Face Mount, 2x6

The Simpson Strong-Tie LUS26-2Z is a double face-mount joist hanger engineered to secure 2×6 framing members with reliable structural performance. This steel hanger connects two joists simultaneously, providing a code-compliant connection that simplifies installation and distributes loads evenly across your framing assembly. Whether you're building residential or commercial projects, this connector delivers the precision and durability required for demanding construction work.

The standout feature of this joist hanger is its double-shear nailing design, which distributes the load through two points on each joist nail. This innovation increases overall strength while reducing the number of nails needed per connection, speeding up installation time and allowing the use of standard nails for all connections. The Z-Max galvanized finish protects against corrosion and moisture, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh environments.

Features and Benefits
