The Simpson SUR2.37/11 SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger by Simpson is a 45 deg.-skewed U-shaped hanger engineered to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood-frame construction. Designed specifically for right-skewed framing connections, it accepts members sized 2-1/4 to 2-5/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. and encapsulates the top flange of the joist so that no web stiffeners are required for standard installation. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this hanger delivers a strong, durable connection in angled framing situations where a standard straight hanger cannot be used.

Key Features

• Skewed right at 45 deg. - purpose-built for right-hand angled framing connections, eliminating the guesswork and field fabrication that off-angle framing often requires
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides installation flexibility within a range of skew angles without any modification to the hanger, making it easier to work with real-world framing tolerances
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners are needed for standard installation, reducing material costs and saving time on the job site
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be installed parallel to the joist in tight acute-angle spaces, making fastening practical where standard round holes would not
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - helps prevent wood splitting during fastener installation and speeds up overall installation, an important advantage when working with engineered lumber
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides structural strength suited to the load demands of joist and rafter hanger applications in wood construction
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers corrosion resistance for long-term performance in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Multiple approved fastener options - can be installed with either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving installers flexibility to work with the fasteners they have on hand

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - unlike field-bent or modified hangers, the SUR2.37/11 is factory-formed to a precise 45 deg. right skew and accepts a 40 deg. to 50 deg. range, so the connection is consistent and code-appropriate without any on-site alteration
• Simplifies installation at the acute side - the obround nail holes and positive-angle nailing design work together to make fastening straightforward even in the confined geometry of a skewed connection, reducing installation time and the risk of splitting engineered wood members
• No web stiffeners required - the U-shaped profile that encapsulates the joist's top flange means fewer additional components to source and install, keeping the connection detail clean and the workflow efficient
• Durable corrosion-resistant finish - the G90 zinc galvanized coating ensures the hanger holds up over time, making it appropriate for wood construction projects where long-term structural integrity and resistance to moisture are priorities

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "SUR" mean in the model name?

SUR stands for skewed right. The SUR2.37/11 is skewed 45 deg. to the right. Its counterpart, the SUL, is identical in design but skewed 45 deg. to the left instead.

Can the SUR2.37/11 hanger be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. However, they are designed to 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 itself.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUR2.37/11?

No. The U-shaped design of the SUR2.37/11 encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation.

What fasteners are recommended for installing the SUR2.37/11?

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).
