Concealed Joist Hanger, Z-max, 2 X 10

Introducing the Simpson Strong‑Tie Z‑Max Concealed Joist Hanger, engineered specifically for 2 × 10 wood members. This low‑profile steel connector slips neatly into the joist cavity, delivering a hidden yet powerful support system that meets or exceeds today’s building codes.

Why choose a concealed hanger? By keeping the hardware out of sight, you preserve clean ceiling lines while still gaining the full load‑bearing capacity of a traditional exposed hanger. The Z‑Max design also simplifies alignment, reducing on‑site labor and ensuring a faster, more accurate installation.

• Precision‑fit for 2 × 10 lumber: Engineered holes and tabs align perfectly with 2‑by‑10 joists, eliminating the need for extra shims or adjustments.
• Corrosion‑resistant coating: Galvanized finish protects against moisture and rust, extending the lifespan of the connection in humid or coastal environments.
• Code‑compliant construction: Meets ICC, AWC, and local building code requirements for concealed joist applications, giving you peace of mind during inspections.
• Easy installation: Pre‑drilled nail slots allow quick attachment with common framing nails, speeding up framing schedules and reducing labor costs.
