The Simpson ZMAX Double 2x10 Joist Hanger Skewed Left HSUL210-2Z is a heavy-duty angled connector engineered by Simpson to deliver secure, load-bearing connections for large solid sawn joist members and double I-joists in wood-frame construction. Its 45 deg. left skew orientation makes it the right choice for angled joist-to-header installations where a standard straight hanger simply will not fit, giving contractors and builders a purpose-built solution for complex framing layouts.

Key Features

• 45 deg. left skew orientation - allows angled joist-to-header connections at a precise left-hand skew, eliminating the need to modify or field-fabricate hardware for non-perpendicular framing conditions.
• Heavy U-shaped profile that encapsulates the top flange of the joist - removes the need for web stiffeners during standard installation, simplifying the fastening process and reducing labor time on the job site.
• Supports large solid sawn joist members and double I-joists - provides versatility across common wood-frame construction applications, so one hanger type works for multiple joist configurations.
• ZMAX galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard G90 coatings, helping the connection hold up in treated-lumber applications and more demanding environments.
• A2 acute flange can be turned in for end-of-wall installation - adds flexibility for solid sawn sizes in tight or confined framing situations where standard flange positioning is not practical (see HSURC or HSULC for related options).
• Built in the United States - produced to consistent quality standards, supporting confidence in material traceability and manufacturing oversight for professional projects.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for 45 deg. skewed framing - rather than adapting a straight hanger to an angled application, this connector is purpose-designed for left-skew joist-to-header connections, delivering a cleaner, code-friendlier installation with less guesswork on complex framing layouts.
• No web stiffeners required for standard installation - the encapsulating U-shaped profile handles the load transfer directly, reducing the number of components you need to source, stage, and install on the job.
• ZMAX coating for enhanced corrosion protection - the ZMAX finish provides a higher level of protection than standard galvanized hardware, making this hanger a dependable choice when connecting to pressure-treated lumber or working in moisture-prone framing conditions.
• Dual joist compatibility in a single SKU - supporting both large solid sawn members and double I-joists means this hanger covers a broader range of wood-frame construction scenarios without requiring a separate product for each joist type.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of joist members is the HSUL210-2Z designed to support?

The HSUL210-2Z is engineered to support large solid sawn joist members as well as double I-joists in wood-frame construction.

Do I need web stiffeners when installing the HSUL210-2Z?

No. The heavy U-shaped profile of the HSUL210-2Z encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation.

What is the skew angle and direction of this joist hanger?

This hanger is skewed 45 deg. to the left, making it suitable for angled joist-to-header connections where a left-hand skew orientation is required. It is also available with the A2 (acute) flange turned in for certain installation configurations.

What coating does the HSUL210-2Z have, and what are its dimensions?

The HSUL210-2Z features a ZMAX galvanized coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. It is constructed from 14-gauge steel and measures 3 1/8 inches wide (W), 8 11/16 inches tall (H), and 2 7/16 inches deep (B).
