The Simpson SUR26SS SUR Stainless-Steel Joist Hanger for 2x6, Skewed Right is a 45 deg.-skewed structural connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. Crafted from 16-gauge stainless steel, this U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, delivering a strong, reliable connection with added corrosion resistance ideal for exterior and treated-wood applications.

Key Features

• SUR = skewed right - 45 deg. fixed skew orientation for right-side joist connections
• Features obround nail holes on the acute side, allowing nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist
• These hangers cannot be modified but will accommodate a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skewed joist
• Available with the acute flange turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation for solid sawn sizes only (SURC or SULC)
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners required for standard installation
• Seat width: 1-9/16 inches
• Nominal joist size: 2x6 or 2x8
• Made from 16-gauge steel
• Stainless steel offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
• Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hanger?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in design except for their skew direction. 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 direction your joist angles away from the header or beam.

Can the SUR26SS be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUR26SS will accommodate a joist that falls within a range of 40 deg. to 50 deg. of skew, providing a small degree of flexibility around the nominal 45 deg. skew angle.

Why is stainless steel recommended for this hanger?

Stainless steel offers extra corrosion resistance compared to standard steel or galvanized options, making it the preferred choice for exterior framing applications and installations involving treated lumber, where chemical preservatives can accelerate corrosion in standard steel connectors.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR26SS?

Install with (6) 0.162 x 3-1/2-in. stainless-steel nails in the face and (6) 0.148 x 1-1/2-in. stainless-steel nails in the joist, OR (12) #9 x 1-1/2-in. Strong-Drive SD Connector SS screws (SD9112). Using the correct stainless-steel fasteners is essential to maintain corrosion resistance throughout the connection.
