The Simpson HSUL210-2 Galvanized Joist Hanger for Double 2x10, Skewed Left is a 14-gauge steel connector from Simpson engineered to create a reliable 45 deg. connection between a joist and header in wood framing applications. Built to support double 2x10 joist members from underneath, this left-skewed hanger delivers a strong, load-bearing connection at angled framing intersections - making it a go-to solution for contractors and builders who need a precise, code-compatible skewed joist-to-header connection. The G90 zinc galvanized coating adds a layer of corrosion resistance suited to demanding job site conditions.

Key Features

• Skewed left (HSUL) design for 45 deg. connections - purpose-built for left-skewed framing layouts where a standard straight hanger cannot be used, ensuring proper joist-to-header alignment.
• Accommodates joists skewed 40 to 50 deg. - provides installation flexibility around the standard 45 deg. angle, reducing the need for exacting precision during framing.
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guides fasteners at the correct angle automatically, helping installers achieve a code-compliant connection without guesswork.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - eliminates the requirement for a specific joist cut, saving prep time and giving framers more flexibility in the field.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - provides the structural strength needed to carry the load of double 2x10 joist members in residential and light commercial framing.
• Zinc galvanized finish, G90 - offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, extending the service life of the connection in moisture-prone environments.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - unlike field-improvised connections, this hanger is designed from the ground up to handle a 45 deg. left-skewed joist-to-header junction, supporting the joist from underneath for a structurally sound result.
• Built-in installation guidance reduces errors - the angled nail slots direct fasteners into the correct position automatically, so the connection is driven right the first time without relying on installer judgment alone.
• Versatile joist preparation - because the hanger accepts both square-cut and bevel-cut joist ends, it adapts to real-world job site conditions without requiring additional cutting steps or special tools.
• G90 galvanized coating for long-term durability - the zinc galvanized finish is specifically rated G90, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing applications where moisture exposure or treated lumber is a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "HSUL" mean and how does it differ from "HSUR"?

HSUL indicates a skewed left hanger, while HSUR indicates a skewed right hanger. The two hangers are identical in construction except for their skew direction - each provides a 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, but mirror one another in orientation.

What range of skew angles can the HSUL210-2 accommodate?

The HSUL210-2 can accommodate joists skewed between 40 and 50 degrees, allowing for some flexibility around the standard 45 deg. connection angle during installation.

Does the joist need to be cut at a specific angle to fit the HSUL210-2?

No. The joist end may be either square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility in how they prepare the joist member for installation.

What fasteners are required to install the HSUL210-2?

Installation requires 16d common nails and 16d x 2-1/2 in. nails. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation, helping to ensure a correct and secure connection.
