The Simpson SUR2.1/9 Galvanized Joist Hanger Skewed Right for 2-1/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. Engineered Wood is a 45 deg.-skewed right hanger from Simpson designed to deliver strong, reliable support underneath joists, rafters, or beams in wood construction applications. Its U-shaped body encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation and keeping the build process efficient. Compatible with both solid sawn and engineered wood products, this hanger is a purpose-built solution for right-angle framing connections where a precise 45 deg. skew is required.

Key Features

• Skewed right at 45 deg. - purpose-built for right-skewed joist connections, removing the guesswork from angled framing layouts
• Accommodates a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides a small degree of flexibility in the field without any modification to the hanger, making installation more forgiving on real job sites
• Cannot be field-modified - the fixed geometry maintains structural integrity by preventing unauthorized alterations that could compromise load capacity
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist, reducing the difficulty of fastening in tight, angled spaces
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - helps prevent wood splitting during installation and speeds up the fastening process on engineered lumber applications
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange - no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, saving both materials and labor time
• Made from 16-gauge steel - provides a solid, heavy-duty connection capable of handling the demands of structural wood framing
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers corrosion resistance suited to protected interior framing environments where moisture exposure is a concern

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed right framing connections - unlike field-skewable hangers that require manual bending, the SUR2.1/9 arrives pre-set at 45 deg. right, ensuring a consistent, code-compliant connection angle every time without extra steps on site
• No web stiffeners needed for standard installation - the U-shaped top-flange design eliminates a common extra step, cutting down on accessory costs and keeping installations straightforward for 2-1/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. engineered wood members
• Flexible fastener options for faster scheduling - can be installed with standard nails or Simpson Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving contractors the ability to use whichever fastening method best fits their workflow and available tools
• Built and finished for lasting performance - 16-gauge steel construction paired with a G90 zinc galvanized coating means the hanger holds up in the conditions typical of wood-framed residential and light commercial construction

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUR" mean in the product name?

SUR stands for "skewed right." The SUR2.1/9 is skewed 45 deg. to the right, making it specifically designed for right-skewed joist connections. The SUL version is identical except it is skewed 45 deg. to the left.

Can this hanger be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, they are engineered to accommodate a joist skewed anywhere between 40 deg. and 50 deg., providing a small range of flexibility without any alteration to the hanger itself.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUR2.1/9?

No web stiffeners are required for standard installation. The U-shaped design of the hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, which eliminates the need for web stiffeners under typical conditions.

What fasteners should be used to install this joist hanger?

Install with (14) 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 (16) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112). Always follow the specified fastener schedule to achieve the rated load capacity.
