A:  Hi Kimm, thank you for your message. We want to make sure we address your question regarding LUS Light-Capacity U-Shaped Hanger with Double-Shear Nailing .

    Q:What tie do I need for 5 step stringer
    by|May 11, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello Bill, my name is Colin with Simpson Strong-Tie. I suggest you review our Adjustable Stringer Connectors LSCZ or the Adjustable Face Mount Hangers LRUZ. On our website strongtie.com enter LSC or LRU in the Search Strogtie.com field to see more information including installation, fasteners, and allowable load values. I do not recommend using the LUS26Z face mount hanger to support a sloping stair stringer. 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.

      Q:how big are the mounting holes where the joist meets the concrete
      by|May 9, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Marine1955, I am Colin with Simpson Strong-Tie. The holes in the out bound flanges of the LUS26Z hanger are 0.171" diameter designed to receive the tested 0.148"x3" (10d) nails. The LUS26Z should not be used to attach a wood joist to a concrete surface. If this is your application open our home page strongtie.com, scroll down to the New Wood Construction Connector Catalog. Open the electronic catalog and scroll down to pages 243-245 for face mount hangers that can be installed onto a concrete surface. You may want to review this information with a design professional. 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.​​

        Q:How big are the holes in the joist hanger? Im working on a school project right now and we are doing research on different things. I know that for a 2 x 6, I can use a 16d nail. But I was just wondering what is the size of the actual hole? Thank you!

          Great Joist hangers
          These worked great. We’re happy now that the rusty joist hangers that we had underneath our decks are now replaced.

            Affordable and Sturdy
            Bought it while planning to buil a riser for my theater. Because of the load and type of lumber I was using, I made the right choice. They are sturdy, strong, durable and the opposite flush face has pointy shape that can stick into the wood and two other holes to permanently hold the hoizontal lumber.

              These hangers were used for my porch and they were very easy to use. The tabs are nice as they are used to hold the piece into place. Just make sure to align everything and it works as intended. Its been 3 years since my deck install and it still holds steady.

                  My porch broke in a section and so after inspecting i saw the problem was not just in one spot but growing all over. If I had not gotten this product and fixed the problem, My entire porch would have completely collapsed - it would not have made it through this summer, and definitely not the winter. A complete Porch Replacement would have cost probably 15-20k. After installing about 35 of these hangers, i predict the life of my porch just got extended to another 10 years. Thanks You Home Depot.

                  Just finished redoing the dock deck and it needed new joist hangers. Easy to use and super strong for the job and they last a long time. We also use these for all of the Veteran Home Repair projects we do thanks to the generosity of the Home Depot Foundation.
