About This Product

Joist hangers are designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter or beam to provide a strong a connection. Simpson Strong-Tie offers a diverse line of hangers to handle almost any application with top flange, concealed flange and field-skewable and slopeable options. The LUS is an easy-to-install, economical hanger designed for common lumber sizes. This widely used hanger features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation and the use of all common nails for the same connection.

Highlights

  • Patented double-shear nailing design provides greater strength with fewer nails
  • Speed prongs for fast and easy installation
  • Angled joist nailing easier in tight spaces
  • Do not bend or remove tabs
  • Nominal joist size: 2x6 and 2x8
  • Made from 18-Gauge steel
  • Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
  • Install with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails (10DHDG) or #9 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws (SD9212)

    ​Hi Ronzie, this is Bekah from Simpson Strong-Tie. The LUS24 hanger is designed for wood to wood application. A wood to concrete block wall installation is not something that Simpson would have information or data to support. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.

      Answer This Question

      Hi Ronald, this is Lexus from Simpson Strong-Tie. The better option to consider would be our LUS26Z which is made of Z MAX. Please keep in mind the LUS26Z can be used with some pressure treated wood, but depending on what type it may not be. Below I have our corrosion guidelines. Please get with your designer to determine if Z max is adequate enough for your application.

          Answer This Question

          Hi Sergio, this is Colin from Simpson Strong-Tie. Yes, the LUS24Z can be installed with our SD Connector Screws. You will need to use (4) of our #9 1.5" (SD9112) in the face flanges, and (2) of our #9 2 1/2" (SD9212) into the carried joist. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.

            Answer This Question

            Hello SamB, my name is Colin with Simpson Strong-Tie. My apologies for this delayed response to your question about our LUS24 joist hanger. This requires 4 each 0.148"x3" (10d) face nails (two on each flange) to fasten into a header. And 2 each 0.148"x3" (10d) face nails (one on each flange) to fasten diagonally through the joist into the header. Any other holes are required for production and are not for fasteners. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

                Can these be used for angled connections, like deck stairs, or only for 90� connections?

                Answer This Question

                Good morning Evan, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. The LUS series cannot be skewed or sloped. We do have other hangers that can be made at a skew or slope and even stock some skewed at 45 degrees and have some that are field adjustable. Depending on your application and demand loads you might be able to look at some of the following series; LRU, LSSR, LSSJ, SUR/L. Any of those can be searched on Strongtie.com. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

                  Great hangers, engineered, stamped and certified. Make sure you get the right ones for indoor or outdoor. Do not settle for less. Use Simpson.

                  works great
                  I wanted extra support on my kids playset i build. I wanted to make sure it could support adults and kids. I noticed a few of my boards were not flush so this helped offset that. Simple to install great price.

                    These are not the size they say they are.
                    So I spent a good amount of time looking for these because I have a house from the 1860s. I’m not sure if the people at Home Depot just don’t know what they’re doing but what I received was not 2 inches and basically useless.

                    Hello, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. The LUS26 is sized for nominally cut lumber (1.5") and is the incorrect product for Rough cut 2x lumber (actually measuring 2"). For Rough cut 2x, take a look at options such as our U26R or LU26R-18. SimpsonStrongTie

                      I needed some hangers for an ongoing back yard project. At the same time, I moved a downspout extension without knowing how weather worn it was and it cracked into 3 pieces. Ordered both items and received them the next day. All good all the way around.
