The Simpson HSURC414 is a concealed flange joist hanger skewed right at 45 deg., purpose-built to support 4x14 lumber members in wood-frame construction. Its U-shaped, top-flange-encapsulating design keeps header flanges hidden from view, making it a natural fit for exposed framing conditions where clean, refined sight lines matter. The zinc galvanized G90 coating delivers dependable corrosion resistance, while the turned-in A2 (acute) flange configuration suits end-of-wall and angled-connection installations that demand both structural reliability and a polished finish.

Key Features

• 45 deg. right-skewed connection - allows precise angled framing between header and joist member, accommodating skew tolerances from 40 deg. to 50 deg. so field adjustments stay within spec without special cutting or shimming.
• Concealed flange (HSUR) design - header flanges remain hidden once installed, producing cleaner visible lines in exposed-condition framing where aesthetics are just as important as structural performance.
• Top-flange-encapsulating construction - surrounds the joist's top flange so web stiffeners are not required during standard installation, reducing material costs and speeding up the framing process.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end compatibility - gives framers flexibility in how they prepare joist ends, cutting down on extra labor and waste on the job site.
• Turned-in A2 (acute) flange configuration - designed specifically for end-of-wall installation scenarios, ensuring the hanger seats correctly where standard hangers cannot perform the same function.
• 14-gauge zinc galvanized G90 steel construction - provides the heavy-duty load capacity and corrosion resistance needed for demanding structural environments, indoors or in moisture-prone conditions.
• Multiple fastener options accepted - compatible with both No. 9 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws and 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails, giving installers the freedom to work with what is already on the job site.

Why This Product

• Built for angled framing without the guesswork - the 45 deg. right-skew geometry addresses a specific connection challenge that a standard square hanger simply cannot solve, making this the right hardware for diagonal header-to-joist applications in wood-frame construction.
• Saves time and materials on every installation - because web stiffeners are not required and both square cut and bevel cut joist ends are accepted, crews spend less time prepping and more time building.
• Delivers a finished look in visible framing - the concealed flange profile keeps structural hardware out of sight, a clear advantage in exposed ceiling or open-beam applications where the framing itself becomes part of the design.
• Simpson quality backed by domestic manufacturing - produced in the United States under Simpson's established engineering standards, this hanger is a trusted choice for contractors who need consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable load performance on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size is the HSURC414 designed to support?

The HSURC414 is specifically engineered to support 4x14 lumber members in wood construction applications.

Does this joist hanger require web stiffeners during installation?

No. Because the HSURC414 encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation, saving time and materials on the job site.

What range of skew angles does the HSURC414 accommodate?

While the hanger is designed at a 45 deg. skew right, it accommodates a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing flexibility during installation. The joist end may also be square cut or bevel cut.

What corrosion protection does the HSURC414 have, and can it be modified in the field?

The HSURC414 features a zinc galvanized G90 coating for reliable corrosion resistance in demanding construction environments. However, it cannot be modified in the field, so it must be installed as manufactured.
