The Simpson SUL210 Joist Hanger Skewed Left for 2x10 is a 45 deg.-skewed hanger engineered by Simpson to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. Its U-shaped design fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, simplifying the framing process on left-skewed connections. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is purpose-built for left-hand skewed framing layouts where a standard square hanger will not work.

Key Features

• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist without awkward angles, making installation faster and more accurate in tight framing conditions.
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joist - provides a practical range of tolerance around the nominal 45 deg. skew so minor field variations in joist angle do not require a different hanger.
• U-shaped encapsulating design - fully wraps the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation and reducing hardware and labor costs.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - gives framers flexibility in how they prep the joist end without affecting the integrity of the connection.
• A2 acute flange turned-in option available (SULC) - for solid sawn lumber applications where end-of-wall installation requires the acute flange to tuck inward, expanding the range of situations this hanger family can serve.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish on 16-gauge steel - delivers extra corrosion resistance compared to lighter coatings, helping the hanger hold up in humid or exposed interior framing environments over the long term.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for left-skewed framing - unlike a field-bent or modified hanger, the SUL210 is factory-formed at a true 45 deg. left skew, ensuring a consistent, code-friendly connection every time without the guesswork of modifying standard hardware on site.
• No web stiffeners required - the encapsulating U-shape handles the load transfer at the top flange, cutting out an extra installation step and the additional materials that web stiffeners would otherwise add to the job.
• Works with both solid sawn and engineered lumber - whether the project calls for dimensional lumber or engineered wood products, this hanger is rated to support both, making it a versatile choice for modern residential and light commercial framing.
• Corrosion-resistant G90 galvanized coating - the zinc galvanized finish provides a meaningful level of protection against moisture-driven corrosion, supporting long-term structural performance in the connections where it is used.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUL210 and the SUR210?

The SUL and SUR hangers are identical in construction except for their skew direction. The SUL210 is skewed 45 deg. to the left, while the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right. Choose the model that matches the direction your joist skews relative to the header.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL210?

Installation requires 16d common nails in the header and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. Using the specified fasteners is essential for achieving the rated load capacity of the hanger.

Can the SUL210 accommodate joists that are not cut at exactly 45 deg.?

Yes. While the SUL210 is designed as a 45 deg.-skewed hanger, it will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg.. The hanger cannot be field-modified, so it must be used within this range. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut.

Why does the SUL210 not require web stiffeners?

The SUL210 features a U-shaped design that fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, providing sufficient bearing and lateral support so that web stiffeners are not required for standard installation on solid sawn and engineered wood products.
