Simpson Strong-Tie 2 in. x 6 in. 18-Gauge ZMAX Joist Hanger

The Simpson Strong-Tie 2 in. x 6 in. 18-Gauge ZMAX Joist Hanger is an economical and easy-to-install connector engineered for common lumber framing applications. Designed with patented double-shear nailing technology, it distributes structural loads across two points on each joist nail for superior connection strength. This optimized design enables faster installation while allowing the use of standard common nails throughout the entire assembly. Constructed from durable 18-gauge steel, this hanger features a protective ZMAX galvanized finish that delivers enhanced corrosion resistance for exterior jobs and treated wood construction. Built-in speed prongs allow temporary positioning and secure placement prior to fastening, making installation straightforward even in tight framing spaces.
