The Simpson SUL210-2Z SUL ZMAX Galvanized Joist Hanger for Double 2x10, Skewed Left is a purpose-built framing connector from Simpson designed to create a strong, reliable 45 deg. connection between a joist and header at a left-hand skew angle. Fabricated from 16-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized finish, this hanger is engineered for exterior framing and treated-wood applications where long-term corrosion resistance is essential. Whether you are framing an angled deck, porch, or complex roof structure, this skewed joist hanger accommodates a Double 2x10 or 2x12 member and simplifies the installation of angled framing connections.

Key Features

• Skewed left (SUL) design at a 45 deg. angle - provides a precise, pre-engineered connection between a joist and header at a left-hand skew, eliminating the guesswork of field-fabricating angled connections.
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - allows for minor field variation so installers can achieve a proper fit even when framing angles are not perfectly consistent.
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - gives framers flexibility to work with however the joist has been cut, reducing waste and extra labor on the job site.
• Angled nail slots - direct nails into the correct position during installation, helping ensure fasteners are driven at the right angle for a code-compliant, structurally sound connection.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed to support double-member joist loads in demanding structural framing applications.
• ZMAX galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized finishes, making this hanger suitable for exterior environments and use with ACQ or other treated lumber where standard coatings can break down prematurely.
• Fits Double 2x10 or 2x12 members - covers two common dimensional lumber sizes in a single hanger, adding versatility to your framing hardware inventory.

Why This Product

• Built for angled framing without field modification - the pre-engineered 45 deg. left skew angle means you get a consistent, structurally reliable connection right out of the box, without cutting, bending, or improvising a custom connector on site.
• ZMAX coating stands up to treated lumber and outdoor exposure - where standard galvanized hangers risk accelerated corrosion from contact with pressure-treated wood or moisture, the ZMAX finish is specifically rated for these demanding conditions, helping protect the long-term integrity of the framing connection.
• Angled nail slots take the guesswork out of fastening - by guiding nails into the correct position automatically, the hanger helps reduce installation errors and supports proper load transfer without requiring specialized skill or additional layout steps.
• Versatile member compatibility in a single product - support for both Double 2x10 and 2x12 joists means this hanger works across a range of common structural framing scenarios, from decks and porches to floor and roof assemblies requiring a left-skewed connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skew angle does the SUL210-2Z provide?

The SUL210-2Z is designed to provide a 45 deg. connection between a joist and header. These hangers will normally accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range to allow for minor field variation.

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

No special cut is required. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility depending on the framing situation.

Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the SUL210-2Z suitable for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where standard galvanized coatings may not provide adequate long-term protection.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL210-2Z?

Installation requires (14) 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails in the face and (6) 0.162 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The angled nail slots in the hanger help direct nails for proper installation.
