HUS210-2TF Heavy Top-Flange Hanger with Double-Shear Nailing, double 2x10
The HUS210-2TF hangs a double 2x10 joist from the top of the header. An embossed 1-1/2 in. top flange bears on the header while double-shear nailing through the joist and face nailing into the header carry the load.
Not for nailers or welded steel applications; for a steel beam or a wood nailer on steel, ask us about a hanger rated for that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which nails do I need?
Header: 16d common (0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in.). Joist: 16d common (0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in.). Use the exact sizes Simpson specifies; a shorter or thinner nail lowers the allowable load. Simpson's catalogue table lists the load for each nailing option.
Will it work on a steel beam?
No. Simpson does not allow this model for nailer or welded applications. Ask us about a hanger rated for steel.
Can I use it on a pressure-treated deck?
Not this finish. G90 galvanizing is for dry, interior framing. For preservative-treated lumber or exterior exposure, Simpson calls for ZMAX, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel connectors and matching fasteners. Ask us about the ZMAX or stainless version.
