The Simpson Heavy Skewed U-Shaped Joist Hanger Skewed Left, 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 is a 14-gauge steel hanger engineered to create reliable 45 deg. angled joist-to-beam connections in wood-framed construction. Designed to support large solid joist members or double I-joists, this hanger's heavy U-shaped profile fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, streamlining installation and eliminating extra hardware steps for standard applications.

Key Features

• 45 deg. skewed left configuration - allows angled framing connections that straight hangers cannot accommodate, giving framers the flexibility to handle complex roof, floor, and deck layouts.
• Heavy U-shaped profile that fully encapsulates the joist's top flange - eliminates the need for web stiffeners during standard installation, saving time and reducing the number of additional components required on the job.
• Supports large solid joist members and double I-joists - provides the load capacity needed for demanding wood-framed structural applications where undersized hardware would be a liability.
• 14-gauge steel construction - delivers heavy-duty strength and rigidity, giving builders confidence that the connection will perform under real-world structural loads.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - provides durable corrosion resistance to help the hanger hold up over time in wood construction environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for angled framing - the 45 deg. left skew makes this hanger the purpose-built solution for non-perpendicular joist-to-beam connections, avoiding the compromises that come with forcing a straight hanger into an angled application.
• Simplified installation with no web stiffeners required - the U-shaped design does the work, reducing labor steps and the chance of installation errors during standard use.
• Built to handle large and composite joist members - with support for both large solid joists and double I-joists, this hanger covers a wider range of structural assemblies without requiring a different product for each scenario.
• Made in the United States by Simpson - backed by a brand widely trusted in structural connector applications, so builders can specify this hanger with confidence in its quality and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HSUR and the HSUL hanger?

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 HSUL4.28/9 is the left-skewed version.

Are web stiffeners required when using the HSUL4.28/9?

No. Because the heavy U-shaped hanger fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation.

What types of joist members does the HSUL4.28/9 support?

This hanger is designed to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood-framed construction.

What corrosion protection does the HSUL4.28/9 have?

The HSUL4.28/9 features a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating, providing a durable level of corrosion resistance suitable for wood construction applications.
