The Simpson Strong-Tie HSUL5.12/16 is a 45-degree skewed-left heavy U-shaped joist hanger engineered to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood construction. Manufactured in the United States to demanding quality standards, this 14-gauge galvanized connector features a U-shaped profile that fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installations. Designed for precision and reliability, the HSUL5.12/16 delivers a robust connection solution wherever a left-hand 45-degree skew angle is required.

Key Features

• 45-Degree Skewed Left: Purpose-built for left-skewed framing applications, providing a structurally sound connection where angled joist placement is required
• Heavy U-Shaped Design: Encapsulates the top flange of the joist completely, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation
• 14-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-duty gauge provides exceptional strength and load-carrying capacity for large joist members or double I-joists
• Zinc Galvanized Finish (G90): G90 zinc galvanized coating delivers corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber and protected wood construction environments
• No Web Stiffeners Required: The encapsulating top flange design simplifies installation and reduces additional material requirements
• Configurable Options Available: Compatible with the concealed flange variant for end-of-wall installations in solid sawn sizes - see the HSURC or HSULC series
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of framing application is the HSUL5.12/16 designed for?

The HSUL5.12/16 is purpose-built for left-hand 45-degree skewed framing applications. It provides a structurally sound connection where joists must be placed at a 45-degree angle to the left, making it the correct choice when standard straight hangers cannot accommodate the required skew angle.

Does this joist hanger require web stiffeners during installation?

No. The HSUL5.12/16 features a heavy U-shaped profile that fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners in standard installations. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the need for additional materials.

What gauge steel is used, and what corrosion protection does this hanger have?

This hanger is constructed from 14-gauge steel and features a G90 zinc galvanized coating. The G90 finish provides corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber and protected wood construction environments.

Is there a similar hanger available for end-of-wall installations?

Yes. For end-of-wall installations in solid sawn sizes where a concealed flange is needed, Simpson Strong-Tie offers the HSURC or HSULC series as compatible concealed flange variants of this hanger.
