The Simpson SUR2.06/11 Galvanized Joist Hanger Skewed Right for 2 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood is a purpose-built structural connector from Simpson designed to deliver a strong, reliable connection where joists meet a header at a 45 deg. angle to the right. This U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation - a meaningful advantage in skewed framing applications involving solid sawn or engineered wood products. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger is ready for demanding wood construction environments where both structural performance and corrosion resistance matter.

Key Features

• 45 deg. right skew (SUR) with 40 deg. to 50 deg. accommodation range - fits angled framing layouts without requiring field modification, giving installers a workable tolerance window on the job site
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist in tight-angle conditions, simplifying fastening where access is restricted and speeding up the installation process
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - reduces the risk of wood splitting during fastening and helps crews work faster without sacrificing connection integrity
• U-shaped design that encapsulates the top flange of the joist - eliminates the need for web stiffeners in standard installation, reducing material requirements and simplifying the framing assembly
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural rigidity needed for load-bearing joist connections in residential and commercial wood framing
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers a protective coating for corrosion resistance, extending service life in moisture-prone or treated-lumber environments
• Cannot be field-modified - the fixed geometry ensures the engineered load ratings are preserved exactly as designed, keeping connections code-consistent and structurally sound

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - unlike adjustable or field-skewable hangers that require on-site bending, this hanger arrives ready for 45 deg. right-skewed installations, removing guesswork and reducing setup time for structural framing crews
• No web stiffeners needed for standard installation - the U-shaped top-flange design handles the connection without additional blocking or stiffener hardware, cutting down on material cost and labor steps in typical joist hanger applications
• Installation-friendly fastening geometry - obround nail holes paired with positive-angle nailing make this hanger faster and more precise to fasten in skewed conditions, especially when working with engineered lumber where splitting is a concern
• Durable finish for real-world jobsite conditions - the G90 galvanized coating provides corrosion protection suited for wood construction environments where moisture exposure or pressure-treated lumber contact is a factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUR" mean and how does this hanger differ from the SUL?

SUR stands for skewed right. The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except that the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right while the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Choose the SUR when your joist angles to the right of the header.

Can this hanger be field-modified to fit a different skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. However, they are engineered to accommodate a joist skewed anywhere between 40 deg. and 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range.

Why does this hanger feature obround nail holes on the acute side?

The obround nail holes on the acute side are specifically designed to allow nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist. This simplifies installation in tight angles and contributes to a faster, more precise fastening process.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.06/11?

Install with (16) 0.162 x 3-1/2 in. nails in the face and (2) 0.148 x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist, OR (18) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).
