Simpson Strong-tie Lus26z Joist Hanger, Z-max, 2 X 6 In.

The Simpson Strong-Tie LUS26Z is a face-mount joist hanger designed to securely fasten 2×6 lumber to beams and rim boards. Built from ZMAX-coated steel, this hanger provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, flush finish that keeps joists tight against the supporting member. It is engineered for reliable performance in floor framing, roof assemblies, and deck construction.

This hanger solves common framing challenges by using an innovative double-shear nailing design that distributes loads through two points on each joist nail. This geometry enhances structural integrity, allows the use of fewer fasteners, speeds installation, and works with standard nails for all connections. The face-mount configuration maximizes interior space and delivers the professional appearance builders expect.

Features and Benefits

• Double-Shear Nailing: Distributes load through two points on each joist nail, providing greater strength while reducing the total number of fasteners required.
• ZMAX Steel Coating: ZMAX-coated steel construction resists corrosion and extends service life.
• Face-Mount Design: Keeps the joist flush and aligned with the supporting beam or rim board for a clean, professional finish.
• Standard Fastening: Works with standard nails, simplifying on-site logistics and reducing installation time.
• Angle-Driven Nailing: Nails can be driven at angles where clearance is limited, providing flexibility in tight spaces.
