The Simpson 4x14 Joist Hanger Skewed Left is a purpose-built framing connector from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to create a precise 45 deg. connection between a joist and header in angled wood framing applications. Constructed from 14-gauge steel and finished with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for reliable corrosion resistance, this skewed-left hanger supports nominal 4x14 lumber from underneath, delivering a strong, secure connection where standard straight hangers cannot be used. Whether framing a hip roof, angled deck, or complex structural layout, this connector is designed to handle the demands of real-world skewed framing with confidence.

Key Features

• Skewed-left (HSUL) orientation - positions the hanger correctly for left-hand angled framing layouts, eliminating the guesswork of adapting a straight hanger to a skewed application
• Accommodates joists skewed 40 to 50 deg. - provides a practical range of angular tolerance so the hanger works across slightly varying field conditions without requiring a perfectly precise cut angle
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guides fasteners into the correct position automatically, reducing installation error and helping ensure a code-compliant connection every time
• Joist end may be square cut or bevel cut - gives framers flexibility on the jobsite without requiring an additional precision angled cut on the joist itself, saving time and material
• Nominal 4x14 member size - sized specifically for 4x14 lumber so the hanger seats correctly and delivers full structural performance without shimming or modification
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides the heavy-duty strength needed to support large-dimension framing members in demanding structural applications
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - offers extra corrosion resistance to help extend the service life of the connection, particularly in moisture-exposed or treated-lumber environments

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - unlike field-modified straight hangers, the HSUL design is purpose-built to provide a true 45 deg. skewed connection, so structural integrity is built in from the start rather than improvised on the jobsite
• Flexible installation without compromising strength - the ability to use either a square-cut or bevel-cut joist end, combined with a 40 to 50 deg. angular accommodation range, means fewer custom cuts and a faster, more adaptable framing process
• Built-in fastener guidance reduces installation errors - angled nail slots take the guesswork out of nail placement, helping ensure every fastener lands in the right position for a connection that performs as designed
• G90 galvanized coating for long-term durability - the corrosion-resistant finish protects the connector in environments where moisture or treated lumber could compromise an uncoated steel hanger over time

Frequently Asked Questions

What angle does the HSUL414 accommodate?

The HSUL414 is designed to provide a 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, and can accommodate joists skewed anywhere from 40 to 50 degrees.

What is the difference between the HSUL and HSUR?

The HSUR and HSUL hangers are identical in design except for their skew direction. HSUL is skewed to the left, while HSUR is skewed to the right. The HSUL414 is the skewed-left version for nominal 4x14 members.

Does the joist need to be cut at a specific angle to fit the HSUL414?

No. The joist end may be either square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility during framing without requiring a precise angled cut on the joist itself.

What corrosion protection does the HSUL414 have?

The HSUL414 is coated with a Zinc Galvanized G90 finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance and helps extend the service life of the connection in demanding environments.
