The Simpson SUR2.37/9 SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger from Simpson is a 45 deg.-skewed structural connector built to deliver reliable load transfer underneath joists, rafters, or beams where a right-skewed framing connection is required. Designed for 2-1/4 to 2-5/16 in. x 9-1/2 in. solid sawn and engineered wood members, this U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist so that no web stiffeners are needed for standard installation, streamlining the framing process on angled wood construction projects. Made from 16-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, it is engineered for lasting durability in demanding structural applications.

Key Features

• 45 deg. right-skewed design (SUR) - purpose-built for right-skewed joist connections, eliminating the guesswork and rework of trying to adapt a standard hanger to an angled framing layout.
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides built-in flexibility around the nominal 45 deg. angle without any field modification, so minor framing variations are covered without additional hardware.
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allow nails to be driven parallel to the joist in a tight, angled space, making installation faster and reducing the risk of misaligned fasteners.
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - reduces the chance of wood splitting during fastener installation, protecting the structural integrity of the member and speeding up the overall process.
• Top-flange encapsulation - wraps around the top of the joist so web stiffeners are not required for standard installation, cutting down on parts and labor.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed to support framing loads in residential and light commercial wood construction applications.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber environments, extending the service life of the connection in moisture-prone conditions.
• Cannot be field-modified - the fixed geometry ensures the hanger performs exactly as engineered and load-rated, giving builders and inspectors confidence in the connection's integrity.

Why This Product

• Engineered for right-skewed framing without compromise - rather than bending or forcing a standard hanger, this connector is factory-set at 45 deg. right, matching common angled framing layouts and delivering a code-consistent connection from the start.
• No web stiffeners required - the U-shaped, top-flange-encapsulating design eliminates the need for supplemental stiffeners in standard installation, reducing both material costs and time on the job.
• Fastener flexibility built in - the hanger can be installed with either nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, letting crews use the fastener type that best fits their workflow and tooling.
• Consistent quality from a trusted structural connector manufacturer - produced in the United States from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this hanger is built to perform reliably in structural wood framing applications where connection integrity is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hangers?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in construction except for their skew direction. The SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right, while the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. Both are designed to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction.

Can the SUR2.37/9 be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No, these hangers cannot be modified. However, the SUR2.37/9 will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a small degree of flexibility around the standard 45 deg. skew angle without requiring any alteration to the hanger.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.37/9?

Installation requires either (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).

Why does the SUR2.37/9 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, combined with positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes, helps prevent wood splitting and speeds up the overall installation process.
