Simpson Strong-tie Lus28z Joist Hanger, Z-max, 2 X 8 In.

Joist hangers provide essential support underneath joists, rafters, and beams to create strong, reliable connections in framing applications. The Simpson Strong-Tie LUS28Z is a face-mount hanger engineered for common lumber sizes, delivering economical performance without sacrificing strength or ease of installation.

The patented double-shear nailing design distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This innovation allows you to use fewer nails, achieve faster installation, and use standard nails for all connections—reducing both labor time and fastener requirements while maintaining connection integrity.
