The Simpson SUL2.06/9 SUL Galvanized Joist Hanger is a 45 deg.-skewed structural connector from Simpson designed to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. Built in a U-shaped profile that encapsulates the top flange of the joist, this left-hand skewed hanger delivers a strong, reliable connection for angled framing layouts without requiring web stiffeners in standard installation. Fabricated from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is a purpose-built solution for left-skewed joist connections in residential and commercial wood framing.

Key Features

• Skewed left at 45 deg. - purpose-built for left-hand angled framing connections, eliminating the need to field-fabricate or modify a standard hanger for skewed layouts
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew angle without modification - provides built-in flexibility across a range of skew angles so the same hanger works even when framing angles vary slightly from nominal
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist in a tight corner, making fastening faster and more practical where access is limited
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - reduces the risk of wood splitting during installation and speeds up the fastening process, keeping the project moving
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - eliminates the need for web stiffeners in standard installation, reducing material costs and simplifying the connection
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural rigidity required for load-bearing joist connections in wood framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber applications and environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• No web stiffeners needed - the U-shaped hanger encapsulates the joist's top flange, so standard installations go in faster with fewer additional components and less material waste
• Engineered for accuracy, not field adjustment - because the hanger naturally accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range without any modification, installers get a consistent, code-compliant connection without guesswork or rework
• Fastener-flexible installation - the hanger supports two approved fastening methods, either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, so crews can use whichever fastener system suits their workflow and tools
• Simpson engineering for engineered wood - with positive-angle nailing designed specifically for engineered wood member sizes, this hanger reduces splitting risk and speeds installation on I-joists and similar products commonly used in modern wood framing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hangers?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except that the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right and the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. The SUL2.06/9 is the left-skewed version intended for left-hand framing connections.

Can the SUL2.06/9 hanger be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. However, they will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without any alteration to the hanger.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUL2.06/9?

No. The U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL2.06/9?

Install with (14) 0.162 x 3-1/2 in. nails in the face and (2) 0.148 x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist, OR (16) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).
