The Simpson SUL414 Joist Hanger Skewed Left for 4x14 is a precision-engineered framing connector from Simpson designed to create a reliable 45 deg. skewed-left connection between a joist and a header. Built to support angled wood framing layouts where a standard straight hanger cannot provide a proper fit, this hanger holds the joist firmly underneath while transferring load to the header - making it a go-to solution for architects, contractors, and framers working with non-perpendicular framing configurations. Constructed from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, the SUL414 combines structural integrity with lasting corrosion resistance for demanding job site conditions.

Key Features

• Skewed-left (SUL) design - provides a factory-set 45 deg. left-skewed connection, eliminating the guesswork and field fabrication required for angled joist installations
• Accommodates joists skewed 40 to 50 deg. - gives framers a workable range of skew angles so the hanger adapts to real-world framing tolerances without special modifications
• Angled nail slots direct nails for proper installation - guides fasteners into the correct position automatically, helping ensure a strong, code-compliant connection every time
• Sized for nominal 4x14 joists - engineered specifically for this member size so the fit is accurate and load transfer is optimized without shimming or guesswork
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural rigidity needed to handle the demands of heavy rafter, joist, and beam connections in wood framing
• Zinc Galvanized G90 finish - provides extra corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the hanger in moisture-prone environments such as exterior decks, covered porches, and crawl spaces

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for angled framing - the fixed 45 deg. skewed-left geometry means this hanger is ready to install straight out of the box for skewed joist applications, saving layout time and reducing the risk of field errors compared to adapting a straight hanger
• Built-in installation guidance - angled nail slots physically direct fasteners into the correct orientation, so even in tight framing situations the connection is made correctly without additional measuring or marking
• Durable finish for long-term performance - the G90 zinc galvanized coating adds extra corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable choice for projects where moisture exposure could shorten the life of uncoated hardware
• Trusted Simpson Strong-Tie engineering - manufactured in the United States to Simpson's established standards for structural connectors, giving builders confidence in the load-carrying performance of every connection made with this hanger

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUL" mean in the product name?

SUL stands for skewed left. The SUL414 is designed to create a skewed-left connection between a joist and a header, as opposed to the SUR version which skews to the right.

What range of skew angles does the SUL414 accommodate?

The SUL414 can accommodate joists skewed 40 to 50 degrees, making it well-suited for angled framing layouts where a standard straight hanger would not provide a proper connection.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL414?

Installation requires 16d common nails. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation, helping ensure a strong and code-compliant connection.

What corrosion protection does the SUL414 offer?

The SUL414 is coated with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.
