The Simpson SUL210Z SUL ZMAX Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2x10, Skewed Left by Simpson is engineered to create a strong, reliable connection between a joist and header at a 45 deg. angle, making it the right choice for angled framing applications in decks, roofs, and other wood construction where a standard straight hanger simply will not work. Built from 16-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized finish, this skewed left hanger is designed to hold up in demanding exterior environments and wherever pressure-treated lumber is used.

Key Features

• Skewed left (SUL) design for 45 deg. angled connections - lets you frame joists that meet a header at an angle rather than perpendicular, expanding your layout options without custom fabrication
• Accommodates joists skewed 40 to 50 deg. - provides a practical range of angular flexibility so the hanger fits real-world framing conditions that fall near but not exactly at 45 deg.
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guides fasteners into the correct position automatically, reducing the risk of misdriven nails and helping ensure a code-compliant connection
• Fits nominal 2x10 or 2x12 joist members - works across two common lumber sizes, giving you added flexibility on jobs where member size may vary
• Made from 16-gauge steel - delivers the structural strength needed to support joist loads in residential and light commercial framing applications
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications - the heavy-duty coating resists moisture and the chemicals found in treated lumber far better than standard galvanized coatings, protecting the connection over the long term

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for angled framing challenges - where a standard joist hanger cannot accommodate a skewed layout, the SUL210Z handles 40 to 50 deg. connections cleanly, saving time and eliminating the need for field modifications
• ZMAX coating for lasting performance outdoors - the enhanced galvanization is specifically suited for exterior decks, pergolas, and any application involving pressure-treated wood, where corrosion is an ongoing concern
• Guided fastener placement built into the design - the angled nail slots take the guesswork out of installation, helping ensure that every nail lands where it needs to for a structurally sound connection
• Trusted Simpson engineering made in the United States - the SUL210Z is part of Simpson's established line of structural connectors, backed by the design precision and quality control the brand is known for

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUL" mean in the product name?

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

What range of skew angles can the SUL210Z accommodate?

The SUL210Z can accommodate joists skewed between 40 and 50 degrees, making it suitable for applications requiring a precise angled connection in that range.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL210Z?

Installation requires 16d common nails in the header and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation.

Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, making the SUL210Z especially well-suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood where moisture and chemical exposure can accelerate corrosion.
