The Simpson Double 2x6 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Left (HSULC26-2) is a heavy-duty, 14-gauge, 45 deg.-skewed hanger engineered to support double 2x6 members in wood construction applications. Part of Simpson's HSULC series, this hanger features concealed header flanges that deliver cleaner, more finished visible lines in exposed conditions - making it a top choice for both structural performance and aesthetic installations. Skewed 45 deg. to the left, the HSULC26-2 is the mirror counterpart to the HSURC series and is manufactured in the United States to meet demanding construction standards.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Left Skew: Designed specifically to support double 2x6 members skewed 45 deg. to the left, providing precise angular framing solutions
• Concealed Header Flanges: Provides cleaner visible lines in exposed conditions for a more finished appearance
• A2 (Acute) Flange Design: Flange turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation
• No Web Stiffeners Required: Encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation
• Obround Nail Holes on Acute Side: Allows nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist for simplified fastening
• Skew Flexibility: Will accommodate a 40 deg.- to 50 deg.-skewed joist, though these hangers cannot be modified
• Heavy U-Shaped Construction: Built for reliable load transfer in wood framing systems
• Zinc Galvanized Finish (G90): Provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments
• Square or Bevel Cut Compatibility: The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut
• Triangle Holes for Uplift: Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist member is this hanger designed to support?

The HSULC26-2 is specifically engineered to support double 2x6 members, making it suitable for wood framing applications that require a doubled joist configuration at a skewed angle.

What is the skew angle of this hanger, and can it accommodate slight variations?

This hanger is designed for a 45 deg. left skew. It will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a small range of flexibility. However, these hangers cannot be modified to adjust the skew angle beyond that range.

What makes the HSULC26-2 different from a standard joist hanger?

Unlike a standard joist hanger, the HSULC26-2 features concealed header flanges that provide cleaner, more finished visible lines in exposed conditions. It also encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation. Additionally, the A2 (acute) flange is turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation, and obround nail holes on the acute side allow nails to be installed parallel to the joist for easier fastening.

What finish and gauge does this hanger use, and how does that affect corrosion resistance?

The HSULC26-2 is constructed from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments.
