The Simpson 4 x 11 Joist Hanger Skewed Left is a heavy-duty, 45 deg. skewed U-shaped hanger from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered to create reliable angled framing connections where large joist members or double I-joists meet a header or beam at a 45 deg. left-skewed angle. Its encapsulating U-shaped profile simplifies installation in complex wood framing layouts, making it a practical choice for residential and commercial structural applications that demand precise, load-bearing angled connections.

Key Features

• 45 deg. left-skewed (HSUL) design - allows accurate, structurally sound connections at angled framing intersections without custom fabrication or field modification
• Top-flange-encapsulating U-shaped profile - fully wraps the joist's top flange so web stiffeners are not required for standard installation, saving labor time on the job site
• Sized for large joist members and double I-joists - the 4 1/8 in. width and 11 1/8 in. height accommodate heavy framing members, supporting demanding structural load requirements
• 14-gauge steel construction - provides heavy-duty strength and rigidity suited to high-load wood framing connections
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - delivers corrosion resistance for long-term performance in exposed or moisture-prone framing environments
• 3 in. bearing depth - ensures adequate seat support for the joist, contributing to stable load transfer at the connection point
• End-of-wall configuration available (HSULC) - the A2 (acute) flange can be turned in for end-of-wall installation on solid sawn sizes, offering flexibility for tight framing conditions

Why This Product

• Eliminates the need for web stiffeners - because the hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, standard installations go faster and require fewer additional components, reducing both material cost and installation complexity
• Purpose-built for angled framing challenges - the fixed 45 deg. left-skew geometry is precisely engineered for situations where a standard straight hanger simply cannot be used, ensuring a correct and consistent connection every time
• Heavy-gauge construction matched to large members - at 14-gauge steel with dimensions sized for double I-joists and large solid-sawn lumber, this hanger is suited to the structural demands of serious framing work rather than light-duty applications
• Backed by Simpson Strong-Tie engineering - made in the United States and designed by a widely trusted name in structural connectors, giving contractors and builders confidence in the product's performance and compatibility with standard wood construction practices

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HSUR and HSUL hangers?

The HSUR and HSUL hangers are identical in design and construction except that the HSUR is skewed 45 degrees to the right, while the HSUL is skewed 45 degrees to the left. The HSUL4.12/11 is the left-skewed version.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the HSUL4.12/11?

No. Because the HSUL encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation, simplifying the installation process.

What type of joist members is this hanger designed to support?

The HSUL4.12/11 is designed to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood construction applications where a 45-degree left-skewed connection is required.

Is there a version of this hanger for end-of-wall installation?

Yes. The HSURC or HSULC versions are available with the A2 (acute) flange turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation for solid sawn sizes only.
