The Simpson SUR26-2 SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger for Double 2x6, Skewed Right by Simpson is a purpose-built framing connector engineered to create strong, reliable connections between joists and headers at a 45 deg. right-hand angle. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this hanger is built to handle the demands of wood framing projects where a standard straight hanger simply will not work. Whether you are framing an angled bay, a hip roof, or any structure requiring a right-skewed joist-to-header connection, the SUR26-2 delivers a code-friendly solution with installation flexibility built in.

Key Features

• Skewed right (SUR) design - provides a precise 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, making this hanger the correct choice whenever a right-hand angle is required in your framing layout.
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - gives you flexibility for connections that fall slightly short of or beyond a true 45 deg. angle, reducing the need for custom fabrication on the job site.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - means you are not locked into a single cutting method, saving time and allowing you to work with the conditions already present in your framing.
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guide fasteners into the correct position automatically, helping ensure a structurally sound, code-compliant connection without guesswork.
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed to support double 2x6 or 2x8 members under load in demanding framing applications.
• G90 galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern and long-term durability matters.

Why This Product

• Engineered for angled framing applications - unlike a standard straight joist hanger, the SUR26-2 is specifically designed for right-skewed connections, eliminating the need to force a workaround solution when your layout demands an angled joist-to-header joint.
• Built-in installation guidance - the angled nail slots remove uncertainty from the nailing process, directing fasteners into the proper position so every connection is installed consistently and correctly, even in awkward framing situations.
• Versatile member and cut compatibility - support for both double 2x6 and 2x8 members, combined with acceptance of square or bevel cut joist ends, means this single hanger covers a range of common framing scenarios without requiring additional hardware.
• Durable finish for lasting performance - the G90 galvanized steel construction resists corrosion over the long term, protecting the structural integrity of the connection and reducing the likelihood of premature hardware failure in moisture-prone framing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUR" mean, and how does it differ from the SUL?

SUR stands for skewed right. The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except that the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right while the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Choose SUR when your joist-to-header connection requires a right-hand angle.

What range of skew angles does the SUR26-2 accommodate?

These hangers will normally accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew, making the SUR26-2 well-suited for connections that fall within or near a 45 deg. angle.

Does the joist end need to be cut at a specific angle for installation?

No. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility depending on the specific framing conditions of the project.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR26-2?

Install with 16d common nails and 16d x 2-1/2 in. nails. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation, helping ensure a code-compliant and structurally sound connection.
