The Simpson SULC26-2 is a 16-gauge, zinc galvanized concealed joist hanger engineered for 45-degree left-skewed framing connections in wood construction. Designed to support double 2x6 members, this U-shaped hanger features concealed header flanges that deliver cleaner, more refined visible lines in exposed framing conditions. The left-skew orientation makes it the go-to solution wherever framing members must connect at a precise 45-degree angle to the left, ensuring structural integrity without sacrificing aesthetics.
