LUC26Z Standard Joist Hanger Concealed Flange

LUC26Z Standard Joist Hanger Concealed Flange

LUCZ — Concealed-flange hanger available for 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 and 2x12 lumber. Ideal for end of ledger/header or post conditions, the LUCZ also provides cleaner lines for exposed conditions such as overhead decks.

LU — Value engineered for strength and economy. Precision-formed — engineered for installation ease and design value.

U — The standard U hanger provides flexibility of joist to header installation. Versatile fastener selection with tested allowable loads.

HU/HUC — Most models have triangle and round holes. To achieve maximum loads, fill both round and triangle holes with common nails. These heavy-duty connectors are designed for schools and other structures requiring additional strength, longevity and safety factors.

Material:

See tables

Finish:

ZMAX

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.

HU/HUC — Can be installed filling round holes only, or filling round and triangle holes for maximum values.

Joists sloped up to 1/4:12 achieve table loads.

For installations to masonry or concrete, see HU/HUC/HSUR/L.

HU/HUC hangers can be welded to a steel member. Allowable loads are the lesser of the values in the hanger tables or the weld capacity — refer to technical bulletin HU/HUC Welded onto Steel Members (T-HUHUC-W).

When nailing into carrying member's end grain, the allowable load is adjusted by a factor of 0.67.

Options:

For both flanges concealed, order HUC.

When the HUC is skewed, the header flange opposite the skew direction is not concealed. See image gallery.

The HU is available with the A flanges straight at table loads listed.

For low-cost, code approved 45° skewed hangers, see SUR/SUL.

For field-adjustable hangers, see LSSJ, LRUZ and LSSR.

See table-modifications table for available options and associated load capacities for U and HU hangers.

For ease of ordering, refer to technical bulletin U/HU Hanger Special Order Worksheet (T-U-HU-WS).

LU/LUC cannot be modified.
