The Simpson SUL2.1/14 SUL Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2-1/16 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood, Skewed Left by Simpson is a 45 deg.-skewed hanger engineered to support both solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. Its U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation and delivering a strong, reliable connection for angled framing applications. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this left-skewed hanger is purpose-built for projects where joists meet a header or beam at a skewed angle.

Key Features

• Skewed 45 deg. to the left (SUL) - purpose-designed for angled framing layouts where a left-hand skew is required, eliminating the need for field fabrication of custom connectors.
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joist - provides a practical range of flexibility around the nominal 45 deg. angle without any field modification, making installation more forgiving in real-world framing conditions.
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allow nails to be driven parallel to the joist in tight, angled spaces, reducing installation difficulty and saving time on the job site.
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - helps prevent wood splitting during fastening and speeds up installation when working with engineered lumber products.
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, reducing material costs and simplifying the overall connection.
• Made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber environments and demanding job site conditions.
• Compatible with multiple fastener options - installs with either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving contractors the flexibility to use their preferred fastening method.

Why This Product

• No web stiffeners needed - the U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so standard installations go faster with fewer components and less hardware to source separately.
• Built-in skew range reduces job site headaches - because the hanger accommodates joists skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., minor framing variations do not require a different connector or field modification.
• Engineered wood compatible with split-prevention nailing - positive-angle nailing geometry is specifically designed for engineered lumber, protecting costly materials from splitting and keeping the installation moving efficiently.
• Durable G90 galvanized steel construction - the 16-gauge steel body with zinc galvanized coating provides long-term corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable choice for framing connections exposed to moisture or treated wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUL and SUR hangers?

The SUL and SUR hangers are identical in design except for their skew direction. The SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left, while the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right. Both support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction.

Can the SUL2.1/14 hanger be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No, these hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUL2.1/14 is designed to accommodate a skewed joist ranging from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without modification.

Does this hanger require web stiffeners during installation?

No. The U-shaped design of the SUL2.1/14 encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL2.1/14?

Install with (18) 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 (20) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).
