The Simpson SUL210-2 Joist Hanger Skewed Left for Double 2x10 is a purpose-built structural connector from Simpson designed to create a reliable 45 deg. skewed-left connection between a double joist and its header in wood-framed construction. Fabricated from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this hanger provides solid load-bearing support underneath the joist while standing up to corrosive job-site conditions. Whether you are framing a stairwell, bay window, or any application requiring an angled joist-to-header connection, this skewed hanger simplifies the process without sacrificing structural integrity.

Key Features

• SUL = skewed left orientation - creates a precise 45 deg. angled connection between a joist and header, making this hanger the correct choice wherever a left-skewed framing connection is required
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - gives framers real-world flexibility to handle slight layout variations without needing a custom or special-order bracket
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - eliminates the need for a precisely angled cut on the joist, saving time and reducing waste during framing
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guide fasteners into the correct position automatically, reducing installer error and helping ensure a code-compliant connection
• Fits nominal double 2x10 or 2x12 members - accommodates two common lumber sizes in a single hanger, adding versatility across different framing layouts
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for demanding load-bearing applications in residential and light commercial framing
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, making this hanger suitable for use in humid or moisture-exposed framing environments

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - unlike field-bent or makeshift solutions, this hanger is factory-formed to deliver a consistent 45 deg. left-skewed connection, so structural performance is not left to chance on the job site
• Flexibility built in at both ends - the 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew tolerance combined with acceptance of either a square cut or bevel cut joist end means less rework and faster installation even when field conditions are not perfectly precise
• Corrosion-resistant coating extends service life - the G90 zinc galvanized finish adds meaningful protection in framing environments where moisture exposure could degrade an uncoated connector over time
• Angled nail slots take the guesswork out of fastening - by physically directing nails during installation, this hanger helps framers drive fasteners correctly the first time, supporting a structurally sound and consistent result across the entire project

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUL" mean in the product name?

SUL stands for skewed left. This hanger is designed to create a 45 deg. connection angled to the left between a joist and its header, as opposed to the SUR version which is skewed to the right.

What range of skew angles does the SUL210-2 accommodate?

These hangers will normally accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew, making them suitable for framing applications that require a near-45 deg. angled joist-to-header connection.

Does the joist need to be cut at a specific angle for installation?

No. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut, offering flexibility during installation without requiring a precise bevel on the joist end.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL210-2?

Install with 16d common nails and 16d x 2-1/2 in. nails. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation.
