The hangers feature a two-sided design so that one hanger supports ceiling joists on each side of a truss instead of requiring a separate face-mounted hanger for each joist.
“PFUD undersaddle hangers are extremely versatile, streamlining installation to reduce connector layout labor costs by half versus using two face-mounted hangers,” said Randy Daudet, group product manager for Simpson Strong-Tie. “At the same time, the hangers offer greater reliability and load capacity than toenailed ceiling joists.”
According to Daudet, the continuous seat fits snugly under the truss’s bottom chord, automatically aligning parts vertically for an easier, faster layout.
For single-side applications, installers simply bend and separate the hanger along the perforations to create two face-mounted options.
The hangers are fully tested and code listed.
“They’re load rated for joist tension forces, so they’re ideal with ceiling panels acting as diaphragms or for bottom-chord truss bracing,” Daudet said.
Two options are available: The PFUD24 fits one-ply trusses, and the PFUDS24 fits two-ply trusses.
