The Simpson SUR2.37/14 SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger is a fixed 45 deg.-skewed right connector engineered by Simpson to deliver reliable load transfer underneath joists, rafters, or beams in wood-framed construction. Designed specifically for solid sawn and engineered wood members in the 2-1/4 to 2-5/16 in. x 14 in. range, this U-shaped hanger fully encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installation and reducing complexity on the job site. Its G90 zinc galvanized finish and 16-gauge steel construction make it a dependable choice for skewed framing connections where precision fit and long-term durability matter.

Key Features

• Fixed 45 deg. right skew (SUR) - pre-formed at the correct angle for right-skewed framing layouts, removing any guesswork and ensuring a consistent, code-ready connection every time.
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joists - built-in angular tolerance allows for minor field variation around the 45 deg. skew without requiring modifications to the hanger.
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allows nails to be driven parallel to the joist even in tight spaces, making fastening faster and more accurate at difficult angles.
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - directs fasteners at the optimal angle to prevent wood splitting and speed up installation, especially important with engineered lumber products.
• U-shaped top-flange design - fully encapsulates the joist flange so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, simplifying the build process and reducing hardware needs.
• 16-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed for demanding framing applications while keeping the hanger lightweight enough for easy handling.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - offers corrosion resistance suited to treated lumber and moisture-exposed environments, helping maintain connection integrity over time.
• Made in the United States - manufactured to consistent quality standards, giving contractors and builders confidence in dimensional accuracy and material reliability.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for skewed engineered wood framing - unlike field-skewable hangers that require manual bending and guesswork, the SUR2.37/14 arrives pre-formed at a precise 45 deg. right skew, making it the right fit for angled joist layouts right out of the box.
• Faster installation through smarter fastening design - obround nail holes on the acute side and positive-angle nailing work together to reduce awkward fastening angles, cutting installation time and minimizing the risk of splitting engineered wood members.
• No extra hardware required - the encapsulating U-shape eliminates the need for web stiffeners in standard applications, reducing material costs and keeping the connection assembly straightforward.
• Durable G90 galvanized finish on 16-gauge steel - this combination delivers structural strength alongside corrosion resistance, making the hanger a dependable long-term solution in framing conditions where moisture or treated lumber is a factor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hangers?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except for the direction of their 45 deg. skew. The SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right, while the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Choose the model that matches the skew direction required by your framing layout.

Can the SUR2.37/14 be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUR2.37/14 is designed to accommodate joists skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a small range of flexibility around the fixed 45 deg. skew angle.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUR2.37/14?

No web stiffeners are required for standard installation. The U-shaped design of the hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, providing full support without the need for additional stiffeners.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.37/14?

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).
