The Simpson SUL26-2 Joist Hanger Skewed Left for Double 2x6 is a 16-gauge galvanized steel connector engineered by Simpson to deliver a strong, precise 45 deg. connection between a joist and header in skewed-left framing applications. Designed to handle a nominal double 2x6 or 2x8 member, this hanger is built for wood construction projects where a reliable angled connection is required at the joist-to-header interface. The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides extra corrosion resistance, making this connector a dependable choice for demanding framing conditions.

Key Features

• Skewed-left (SUL) geometry - purpose-built for left-hand skewed framing layouts, ensuring a proper 45 deg. connection between a joist and header without field modification.
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides installation flexibility across a range of skew angles, reducing the need for custom or specialty hardware on typical angled framing projects.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - eliminates the requirement for a precise angled cut, saving time and reducing material waste during installation.
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guides fasteners into the correct position automatically, helping ensure a structurally sound connection and reducing the chance of installation error.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed to support double 2x6 or 2x8 joists in residential and light commercial framing applications.
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides extra corrosion resistance to help the hanger maintain structural integrity in moisture-exposed or chemically treated lumber environments.

Why This Product

• Engineered for skewed-left framing - unlike adjustable or field-skewable hangers that require bending or guesswork, the SUL26-2 is factory-formed specifically for left-hand 45 deg. connections, delivering consistent results on every installation.
• Flexible joist-end cutting requirements - the ability to use either a square cut or bevel cut joist end means framers spend less time prepping material and more time completing the connection efficiently.
• Built-in fastener guidance for reliable connections - angled nail slots take the guesswork out of nail placement, helping ensure that every fastener drives into the correct location for a properly loaded, code-compliant connection.
• G90 galvanized protection on a heavy-gauge body - the combination of 16-gauge steel and a G90 zinc galvanized finish means this hanger is suited for tough jobsite conditions where both strength and corrosion resistance matter.
