Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUL" stand for and how does it differ from the SUR?

SUL stands for skewed left. The SUL and SUR hangers are identical in design except that the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left while the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right. Choose the SUL46 when your framing layout requires a left-hand skewed connection between a joist and header.

What range of skew angles can the SUL46 accommodate?

The SUL46 will normally accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew, making it well suited for connections that require approximately a 45 deg. angle between the joist and the header.

Does the joist need to be cut at a specific angle to fit this hanger?

No. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut, giving installers flexibility depending on their framing method and project requirements.

What fasteners are required to install the SUL46?

Install with 16d common nails. The hanger features angled nail slots that direct nails for proper installation, helping to ensure a secure and code-compliant connection.
