The Simpson SUL2.1/9 SUL Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2-1/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood, Skewed Left by Simpson Strong-Tie is a 45 deg.-skewed hanger engineered to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. This U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installation, while its G90 galvanized finish delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance.

• These hangers cannot be modified but will accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joist
• Features positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes to prevent wood splitting and to speed installation
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners required for standard installation

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUL" stand for and how does it differ from the SUR?

SUL stands for Skewed Left. The SUL and SUR hangers are identical in design except that the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left while the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right. Choosing the correct version depends on the direction of the skew required at your framing connection.

Can this hanger be field-modified to fit different skew angles?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUL2.1/9 will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a small range of flexibility around the nominal 45 deg. skew angle.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL2.1/9?

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).

Why is a G90 galvanized coating important for this joist hanger?

The G90 zinc galvanized coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making the hanger suitable for environments where moisture exposure is a concern. This helps protect the structural integrity of the connection over time.
