The Simpson HSUR414 Heavy Skewed U-Shaped Joist Hanger is a 14-gauge galvanized connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to create a precise 45 deg. skewed-right connection between a joist and header in wood framing applications. Built to support large 4x14 nominal joist members, this hanger delivers reliable load transfer underneath the joist and is a go-to solution for angled framing situations where a standard straight hanger simply will not work. The G90 zinc galvanized coating makes it a dependable choice in moisture-prone environments, and the angled nail slot design keeps installation straightforward even on complex framing layouts.

Key Features

• Skewed-right geometry (HSUR) - provides a factory-set 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, eliminating the guesswork of field-fabricating an angled connection
• Accommodates joists skewed 40 to 50 deg. - gives framers a 10-degree range of tolerance, reducing the need for precision cuts and keeping projects on schedule
• Angled nail slots built into the hanger - direct nails for proper installation automatically, so fasteners seat correctly without extra layout work
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - installer flexibility means less time spent on saw work and easier fitting in the field
• Sized for nominal 4x14 joist members - matched exactly to large dimensional lumber, ensuring a secure, full-contact fit with no shimming or modification
• Formed from 14-gauge steel - heavier gauge construction supports the demands of large-member framing connections where load transfer is critical
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for framing exposed to moisture or in contact with treated lumber

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for angled large-member framing - the HSUR414 is specifically designed for 4x14 joists meeting a header at a 45 deg. skew, a connection that standard hangers cannot handle, making it the right tool when the framing plan calls for it
• Flexible enough for real job-site conditions - by accepting joists skewed anywhere from 40 to 50 deg. and allowing either a square or bevel cut end, this hanger works with natural variation in framing rather than demanding perfection
• Guided fastening built in - angled nail slots do the alignment work for the installer, reducing the chance of mis-driven fasteners and helping maintain the structural integrity of the connection
• Long-term durability with G90 galvanized protection - the zinc galvanized coating resists corrosion in the demanding environments where heavy framing connections are commonly found, supporting a connection that is built to last

Frequently Asked Questions

What angle does the HSUR414 provide for joist-to-header connections?

The HSUR414 is designed to provide a 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, and can accommodate joists skewed anywhere from 40 to 50 degrees.

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

No. The joist end may be either square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility during framing.

What type of fasteners should be used to install the HSUR414?

The HSUR414 should be installed with 16d common nails. The angled nail slots built into the hanger help direct nails for proper installation.

What coating does the HSUR414 have, and why does it matter?

The HSUR414 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra corrosion resistance - an important consideration for applications where the connection may be exposed to moisture or treated lumber.
