Frequently Asked Questions

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

SUL stands for skewed left. The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except that they are skewed 45 deg. to the right (SUR) and the left (SUL), respectively. Always confirm the required skew direction before selecting your hanger.

Can the SUL2.56/11 be modified on-site to fit different skew angles?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. However, they are designed to accommodate a joist skewed anywhere between 40 deg. and 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without any field alterations.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL2.56/11?

Install with (16) 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 (18) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).

Why does this hanger feature obround nail holes on the acute side?

The obround nail holes on the acute side are specifically designed to allow nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist, simplifying the installation process and helping achieve a secure, code-compliant connection even in tight skewed-angle configurations.

Note: Product dimensions and/or Screw or Nail holes may differ from picture. See item description for specifications.
