The Simpson SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2-1/16 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood, Skewed Right from Simpson is a 45 deg.-skewed, U-shaped hanger engineered to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood-frame construction where joists angle to the right of the header or beam. The U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation and delivering a strong, dependable connection for angled framing layouts.

Key Features

• 45 deg. right-hand skew (SUR) - purpose-built for framing applications where the joist runs to the right of the supporting header or beam, providing a precise and secure angled connection without field modification.
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - allows a degree of flexibility in the field so minor angle variations are handled without requiring a different hanger or any alteration to the connector.
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allow nails to be driven parallel to the joist in a tight space, making fastening faster and more straightforward even at awkward angles.
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - helps prevent wood splitting during installation, protecting the integrity of engineered lumber and speeding up the nailing process.
• U-shaped design encapsulates the joist top flange - no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, reducing material costs and simplifying the overall connection process.
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, heavy-duty hanger capable of handling the structural loads common in residential and light commercial wood framing.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited to treated lumber and moisture-exposed framing environments, helping the connector maintain its structural performance over time.

Why This Product

• No web stiffeners required - the U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so standard installations go faster and use fewer materials compared to hangers that demand additional hardware.
• Built-in angle tolerance keeps projects on schedule - because the hanger accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joist without any field modification, minor framing variations do not require a hardware swap or costly rework.
• Engineered for engineered wood - positive-angle nailing is specifically designed for engineered lumber sizes, reducing the risk of splitting and making this hanger a reliable choice for LVL, I-joist, and similar products used in modern framing.
• Versatile fastener compatibility - the hanger can be installed with either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving contractors flexibility to use the fastener type that best suits their workflow and jobsite conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and the SUL hanger?

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

Can the SUR2.1/14 be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUR2.1/14 will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without any alteration to the hanger.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUR2.1/14?

No. Because the U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation, simplifying the installation process.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.1/14?

Install with (18) 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 (20) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112). The obround nail holes on the acute side allow nails to be installed parallel to the joist for easier fastening.
