The Simpson HSUR46Z ZMAX Skewed Right Joist Hanger is a heavy-duty connector engineered to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood construction where a 45 deg. right-skewed connection is required. Finished with Simpson's ZMAX coating for superior corrosion resistance, this 14-gauge U-shaped hanger is built to deliver reliable load transfer in demanding angled framing applications - making it a dependable choice for contractors and builders who need precision alignment at a 45 deg. right skew.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Right Skew Configuration - Purpose-built for right-skewed framing connections, this hanger ensures accurate joist alignment at a precise 45 deg. angle, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of misalignment on the job site.
• Heavy 14-Gauge Construction - The substantial gauge rating means the hanger can handle the structural demands of large solid sawn lumber and double I-joist applications without compromising integrity.
• U-Shaped Top-Flange Design - By encapsulating the top flange of the joist, this hanger eliminates the need for web stiffeners during standard installation, saving time and reducing material costs.
• ZMAX Coating - The ZMAX finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger well-suited for use with treated lumber and in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Configurable Acute Flange Option - With the A2 (acute) flange turned in, the hanger supports end-of-wall installation for solid sawn sizes, adding versatility across a broader range of framing scenarios.
• Domestic Manufacture - Produced to consistent quality standards, this hanger meets the expectations of professionals who rely on dependable, well-made structural connectors for wood framing projects.

Why This Product

• Engineered for a Specific Skew - Not a Workaround - Rather than adapting a standard hanger to an angled application, this connector is purpose-designed for a 45 deg. right skew, giving builders a cleaner, more structurally sound connection for large joists and double I-joists.
• Fewer Parts, Faster Installation - The U-shaped design that encapsulates the top flange removes the requirement for web stiffeners in standard installations, which means fewer components to source and a more efficient framing workflow.
• Corrosion Resistance Built In - The ZMAX coating addresses one of the most common long-term concerns with metal connectors in wood construction - degradation from moisture and treated lumber chemistry - so the connection maintains its integrity over time.
• Flexible Enough for Multiple Applications - From supporting large joist members and double I-joists to end-of-wall configurations when the acute flange is turned in, this hanger covers several use cases without requiring a completely different product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What angle and direction does the HSUR46Z accommodate?

The HSUR46Z is engineered specifically for a 45-degree right skew, meaning it connects large joist members or double I-joists at a 45-degree angle to the right. This makes it suited for angled framing conditions where precise alignment at that specific skew direction is required.

Do I need web stiffeners when installing the HSUR46Z?

No. The HSUR46Z features a heavy U-shaped design that encapsulates the top flange of the joist, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners during standard installation.

What coating does the HSUR46Z have, and is it compatible with treated lumber?

The HSUR46Z is finished with Simpson Strong-Tie's ZMAX coating, which provides superior corrosion resistance. This coating makes it suitable for use with treated lumber.

Can the HSUR46Z be used in an end-of-wall installation?

Yes, but with limitations. The hanger can be configured with the A2 (acute) flange turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation, however this configuration is available for solid sawn sizes only. For that application, Simpson Strong-Tie references the HSURC or HSULC models.
