The Simpson SUL24 Joist Hanger Skewed Left for 2x4 from Simpson Strong-Tie is purpose-built to create a strong, reliable 45 deg. angled connection between a joist and header in wood framing applications. Designed for a skewed-left orientation and sized for nominal 2x4 lumber, this hanger is stamped from 16-gauge steel and finished with a G90 galvanized coating, making it a dependable choice for both interior framing and exposed or moisture-prone environments.

Key Features

• Skewed-left (SUL) orientation - provides a precise 45 deg. connection between a joist and header, eliminating the need for field fabrication or custom bending on angled framing layouts
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - gives installers flexibility when framing conditions vary slightly from nominal, ensuring a secure fit without rework
• Square cut or bevel cut joist end accepted - reduces lumber prep time on the job site by working with either cut type, speeding up installation
• Angled nail slots built into the hanger - guide nails at the correct angle automatically, helping ensure proper load transfer and reducing the chance of installation error
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers structural rigidity suited to the load demands of residential and light commercial joist-to-header connections
• G90 galvanized coating - provides enhanced corrosion resistance for use in damp, treated-lumber, or outdoor framing applications where bare steel would degrade prematurely

Why This Product

• Factory-set angle saves layout time - because the SUL24 arrives pre-formed for a 45 deg. skewed-left connection, framers can skip the time-consuming process of field-bending or custom-fabricating an angled hanger for diagonal joist runs
• Built-in nail guidance reduces installation mistakes - the angled nail slots direct fasteners to the correct position automatically, helping ensure a code-consistent connection even for less experienced installers
• G90 galvanized finish extends service life - the zinc galvanized coating resists corrosion in demanding conditions, making this hanger suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber and in areas subject to moisture exposure
• Versatile cut compatibility keeps framing moving - acceptance of both square-cut and bevel-cut joist ends means crews are not forced to make precision bevel cuts, keeping the framing process efficient without sacrificing connection integrity

Frequently Asked Questions

What does SUL stand for in the Simpson SUL24?

SUL stands for skewed left. The SUL24 is specifically designed to create a skewed-left connection between a joist and a header, providing a 45 deg. angle in that direction.

What range of skew angles does the SUL24 accommodate?

These hangers will normally accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew, making them suitable for applications requiring a consistent angled connection in that range.

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

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

What fasteners are required to install the SUL24?

Install with 16d common nails in the header and 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. The angled nail slots built into the hanger help direct nails for proper installation.
