The Simpson HSULC Heavy Left-Skewed U-Shaped Joist Hanger is designed for high-load, skewed wood-to-wood connections, ensuring maximum stability and support. Featuring a 45-degree left skew, this hanger is ideal for angled applications where traditional joist hangers are not suitable.

With its ZMAX galvanized coating, the HSULC hanger provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for outdoor, humid, or chemically treated wood environments. Its heavy-gauge steel construction ensures exceptional lateral and vertical load performance, offering the strength needed for demanding structural projects such as decks, pergolas, and large framing applications.

Key Features:

• ZMAX Galvanized Finish: Provides superior corrosion resistance for outdoor and treated wood applications.
• 45-Degree Left Skew: Designed for angled joist-to-beam connections.
• High Load Capacity: Engineered for demanding structural applications.
• Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction: Delivers strength, durability, and stability.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with both solid sawn lumber and engineered wood materials.

Installation:

• Use Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for securing the hanger to the supporting structure.
• Secure the hanger to the beam using all pre-punched fastener holes to achieve the full rated load capacity.
• Ensure the joist is fully seated within the hanger before securing fasteners.
• If installing into engineered wood or dense lumber, pre-drilling may be necessary to prevent splitting and ensure a flush connection.
• Verify the skewed angle and positioning before fastening to avoid misalignment during framing.

Applications:

• Deck & Pergola Framing: Provides strong, skewed joist support in outdoor structures where angled connections are required.
• Roof Trusses & Rafters: Ideal for securing sloped and skewed joists in complex roof framing applications.
• Timber Framing: Suitable for architectural and structural wood framing where angled beam-to-joist connections are necessary.
• Engineered Wood Applications: Compatible with LVL, PSL, and other engineered wood products for custom framing solutions.
• Outdoor & High-Moisture Environments: The ZMAX coating ensures resistance to corrosion, making it perfect for exterior construction and treated lumber installations.
• Residential & Commercial Structures: Provides reliable structural support in homes, buildings, and industrial framing projects.

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