The Simpson 4 X 14 Joist Hanger Skewed Left is a heavy-duty structural connector built for angled framing connections in wood construction. Its 45 deg. left-skew profile makes it the right choice when standard straight hangers simply will not work, providing a secure, code-ready solution for supporting large joist members or double I-joists at a precise angle. Finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating and fabricated from 14-gauge steel, this hanger is engineered to hold up in demanding framing environments where both strength and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• 45 deg. skewed-left (HSUL) design - allows accurate, structurally sound connections at angled framing intersections that a straight hanger cannot accommodate
• Heavy U-shaped profile that encapsulates the top flange of the joist - eliminates the need for web stiffeners during standard installation, reducing labor and simplifying the framing process
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers the load capacity needed to support large solid sawn lumber members and double I-joists in wood-frame construction
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides durable corrosion resistance, keeping the connector performing reliably in tough jobsite conditions
• Asymmetric flange geometry with acute and obtuse flanges - gives installers precise bearing surface engagement on both sides of the angled connection for a stable, well-distributed load path

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for left-skewed framing - when a floor or roof layout demands a 45 deg. angled joist connection to the left, this hanger provides the correct geometry without field fabrication or guesswork
• No web stiffeners required for standard installation - the encapsulating U-shaped profile does the work, saving time and material costs on the job
• Heavy-gauge steel meets heavy-load demands - the 14-gauge construction is sized for large joist members and double I-joists, so builders do not need to compromise on structural capacity at angled connections
• Made in the United States by Simpson - sourced from a brand with a longstanding reputation in structural connectors, giving contractors and inspectors confidence in the product's quality and consistency

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need web stiffeners when installing the HSUL4.12/14?

No. The heavy U-shaped profile of this hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation.

What is the skew angle and direction of this joist hanger?

This hanger is designed with a 45-degree skew to the left (HSUL designation), making it suitable for angled framing connections that require a left-skewed orientation.

What type of corrosion protection does this hanger have?

The HSUL4.12/14 is finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides corrosion resistance for demanding framing applications.

Can this hanger be used for end-of-wall installation?

Yes, but only for solid sawn lumber sizes. For end-of-wall installation, the A2 (acute) flange can be turned in - however, for that application you should reference the HSURC or HSULC models as applicable.
