Frequently Asked Questions

What skew angle does the HSULC210-2Z support?

The HSULC210-2Z is designed for a 45 deg. left-skewed installation. It will accommodate joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility around the primary 45 deg. design angle.

Are web stiffeners required when using this hanger?

No. Because this hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, web stiffeners are not required for a standard installation.

Can this hanger be modified in the field?

No. These hangers cannot be modified. They are engineered to precise specifications and must be installed as manufactured to maintain their rated performance.
