The HSUL Heavy Left-Skewed U-Shaped Joist Hanger is engineered for high-load applications, providing superior strength and durability for skewed wood-to-wood connections. Designed with a 45-degree skew, this heavy-duty hanger ensures a strong, code-compliant connection where angled joists meet beams, making it ideal for framing, deck construction, and other structural projects.

Manufactured from G90 galvanized steel, the HSUL hanger offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications. Its precision-formed U-shaped design enhances structural integrity and provides a secure, tight fit for solid sawn and engineered wood joists.

Key Features:

• G90 Galvanized Steel: Provides durable corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor applications.
• 45-Degree Skew: Optimized for angled joist-to-beam connections, ensuring stability.
• Heavy-Duty Load Capacity: Designed to support high loads in demanding applications.
• Reinforced U-Shaped Design: Enhances strength for a more secure connection.
• Versatile Compatibility: Works with solid sawn lumber and engineered wood joists.

Installation:

• For Solid Sawn Lumber: Use 10d or 16d nails or #10 screws as specified in load tables.
• For Engineered Wood Applications: Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper nail or screw length and spacing.
• Avoid Mixing Metals: When using G90 galvanized steel hangers, ensure fasteners are also galvanized to prevent corrosion.
• Secure the hanger to the supporting beam using all designated nail holes to ensure even load distribution.
• Joists should be fully seated within the hanger before fastening to maintain proper alignment and support.
• Pre-drilling may be required when working with dense engineered wood to prevent splitting.

Applications:

• Deck & Outdoor Structures: Provides strong, secure joist-to-beam connections for decks, pergolas, and patios.
• Roof Framing: Ideal for angled rafters and skewed truss-to-beam connections.
• Floor Framing: Supports skewed joist connections in residential, commercial, and industrial flooring systems.
• Engineered Wood Applications: Compatible with LVL, PSL, and glulam joists for modern wood-framed structures.
• Commercial & Industrial Construction: Ensures reliable skewed connections in large-scale structural framing.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
