The Simpson SUR26 Joist Hanger Skewed Right for 2x6 is a 45 deg.-skewed, U-shaped hanger engineered by Simpson to provide strong, reliable support for solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. Designed specifically for right-skewed framing conditions, this hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation. Whether you are framing a deck, floor system, or roof structure where joists meet a header or beam at an angle, this skewed joist hanger delivers a clean, code-compliant connection without the need for field modification.

Key Features

• Skewed right at 45 deg. - purpose-built for right-skewed framing conditions so the hanger fits correctly the first time without bending or guesswork on the job site
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides built-in flexibility for joists that are not perfectly angled, reducing the risk of fit issues without any modification to the hanger
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist for easier, more accurate installation in tight or angled spaces
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - eliminates the need for web stiffeners in standard installations, saving time and reducing material costs
• Made from 16-gauge steel - provides the structural strength needed to support solid sawn and engineered lumber in demanding wood framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited for exterior and moisture-prone environments, helping the hanger hold up over the long term
• Acute flange turned-in option available (SURC/SULC) - accommodates end-of-wall installation for solid sawn sizes, expanding the range of framing situations this hanger family can address

Why This Product

• No web stiffeners needed for standard installation - the U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, streamlining the installation process and reducing the number of components you need to manage on site
• Built-in angular tolerance from 40 deg. to 50 deg. - the hanger accepts joists within a 10 deg. range of the nominal 45 deg. skew without any field modification, giving contractors practical flexibility without compromising structural integrity
• Obround nail holes make fastening straightforward in angled applications - by allowing nails to be installed parallel to the joist on the acute side, the hanger reduces the awkward fastening angles that typically slow down skewed joist installations
• Simpson quality with a G90 galvanized coating - backed by one of the most recognized names in structural connectors, this hanger combines heavy 16-gauge steel construction with corrosion-resistant finishing to deliver a durable connection in both interior framing and exposed outdoor conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hangers?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except that the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right and the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Choose the SUR26 when your joist frames into a header or beam at a right-skewed angle.

Can the SUR26 be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. However, the SUR26 is designed to accommodate a joist skewed anywhere between 40 deg. and 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without any alteration to the hanger.

Does the SUR26 require web stiffeners for standard installation?

No. Because the U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, simplifying the installation process.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR26?

Install with (6) 0.162 x 3-1/2-in. nails in the face and (6) 0.148 x 1-1/2-in. nails in the joist, OR (12) #9 x 1-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).
