The Simpson 4x6 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Right is a 14-gauge structural connector purpose-built to support 4x6 lumber members meeting at a right-hand angle in wood construction framing. Designed around a 45 deg. skew, this hanger handles angled framing connections where standard square hangers simply will not work - delivering solid structural support at the header while keeping visible lines clean through its concealed flange design. A Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating provides corrosion resistance suited to demanding job site conditions, making it a reliable choice for both interior framing and exposed applications.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Right-Hand Skew with Flexible Tolerance - accommodates joists skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., giving installers practical flexibility without compromising structural intent
• Concealed Header Flanges - keep the hanger visually unobtrusive in exposed framing conditions, so appearance and performance work together rather than against each other
• Turned-In A2 Acute Flange - enables end-of-wall installations where a standard flange orientation would not fit, expanding the range of applications this single connector can handle
• 14-Gauge Steel Construction - provides the load-bearing strength required for 4x6 lumber in wood construction framing without adding unnecessary bulk to the connection point
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 Coating - offers corrosion resistance appropriate for demanding construction environments, protecting the connector over the long term
• Square or Bevel Cut Joist End Compatibility - lets framers use whichever cut suits the job without requiring a special preparation step, saving time during installation
• Simpson Engineering and Domestic Production - backed by Simpson quality standards and produced in the United States, supporting confidence in consistent material and dimensional accuracy

Why This Product

• Built for the Angle Other Hangers Cannot Handle - when framing members meet at a right-hand skew, a standard joist hanger is not an option; this connector is specifically engineered for that exact condition, eliminating field improvisation at a critical structural joint
• Clean Appearance Without Sacrificing Structural Function - the concealed flange design addresses a real conflict in exposed framing: this hanger resolves it by keeping header flanges hidden while still meeting the structural demands of the connection
• Pairs Directly with Its Left-Hand Counterpart - for projects requiring mirrored angled connections, the HSULC46 is the left-hand equivalent with an identical concealed flange design, making it straightforward to specify both sides of a symmetrical framing layout
• Finish That Matches the Demands of the Application - the G90 zinc galvanized coating means this connector is not just sized and shaped for the job but finished to hold up in the environments where 4x6 angled framing connections are most commonly needed

Approved Applications

• Supporting 4x lumber members in wood construction framing
• Angled or skewed framing connections where a 45 deg. right-hand skew is required
• End-of-wall installations utilizing the turned-in A2 acute flange
• Exposed framing conditions where concealed header flanges provide cleaner visual lines
• Any application requiring a joist skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg.

Installation

Fill all round and obround nail holes with the specified fasteners to achieve rated table loads. The following fasteners are required:

• #9 x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws OR
• 0.162" x 3-1/2" Nails

The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut. Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity. This hanger cannot be modified but will accommodate a 40 deg.- to 50 deg.-skewed joist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the HSURC46 and the HSULC46?

The HSURC46 and HSULC46 are identical hangers except for their skew direction. The HSURC46 is skewed 45 deg. to the right, while the HSULC46 is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Both feature the same concealed flange design and are intended for 4x lumber in wood construction.

What range of skew angles will the HSURC46 accommodate?

Although designed as a 45 deg.-skewed hanger, the HSURC46 will accommodate joists skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., offering a degree of flexibility for framing layouts that fall slightly off the 45 deg. angle.

Are web stiffeners required when using the HSURC46?

No. Because the HSURC46 encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation.

Can the HSURC46 be field-modified to fit a different application?

No. The HSURC46 is a pre-engineered connector with a fixed 45-degree right skew and should not be field-modified. Any alteration to the connector may affect its structural performance and void load ratings. Consult Simpson Strong-Tie for alternative configurations.
