The Simpson JOIST HANGER SKEW RIGHT is a heavy-duty hanger engineered to connect large solid-sawn joist members or double I-joists to headers or beams at a 45 deg. angle in wood-frame construction. With its factory-set rightward skew, this hanger delivers precise, code-conscious angled framing connections without requiring field modification, making it a dependable choice for engineered floor systems, roof framing, and structural assemblies where a flush or fully encapsulated top-flange connection is required.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Skewed Right Profile - Factory-set rightward skew eliminates guesswork on angled framing layouts, so installers can achieve accurate, consistent connections without bending or modifying the hanger on site.
• Heavy U-Shaped Design - Fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, removing the need for web stiffeners in standard installations and simplifying the overall framing process.
• 14-Gauge Steel Construction - Provides the structural strength needed to support large joist members and double I-joists, giving builders confidence in heavy-load floor and roof applications.
• G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating - Offers corrosion resistance suited to wood-frame construction environments, helping the hanger maintain performance and integrity over time.
• Broad Application Compatibility - Approved for use with large solid-sawn lumber and double I-joists across a range of wood-frame floor and roof system configurations.
• Domestic Manufacturing - Produced in the United States under Simpson quality standards, supporting consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable material specifications.

Why This Product

• No web stiffeners required - The heavy U-shaped hanger encapsulates the joist's top flange completely, reducing the number of additional components needed and streamlining installation on skewed framing connections.
• Purpose-built for angled structural framing - The factory-set 45 deg. right skew is designed specifically for applications where standard straight hangers cannot achieve a proper connection, giving framing crews a reliable, ready-to-install solution for complex layouts.
• Supports both solid-sawn and engineered lumber - Compatibility with large solid-sawn joist members and double I-joists makes this hanger a versatile choice across traditional and engineered wood construction systems.
• Trusted Simpson engineering - Backed by Simpson's reputation for structural connector design, this hanger is built to meet the demands of professional contractors working on wood-frame residential and commercial framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HSUR and HSUL hangers?

The HSUR and HSUL hangers are identical in design except for the direction of their 45-degree skew. The HSUR is skewed 45 degrees to the right, while the HSUL is skewed 45 degrees to the left.

Do I need web stiffeners when installing the HSUR5.12/16?

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

What joist members is the HSUR5.12/16 designed to support?

The HSUR5.12/16 is designed to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood construction applications.

What coating does the HSUR5.12/16 have, and why does it matter?

The HSUR5.12/16 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for use with treated lumber and in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
