The Simpson Strong-Tie HSURC46Z is a heavy-duty, 45 deg.-skewed right concealed flange joist hanger engineered to support 4x lumber members in wood-framed construction. Built to exacting standards and manufactured in the United States, this ZMAX-coated, 14-gauge hanger delivers exceptional load-carrying performance while maintaining clean, professional visible lines thanks to its concealed header flange design. Whether framing a deck, floor system, or structural roof application where a 45 deg.-skewed connection is required, the HSURC46Z provides a reliable, code-compliant solution that eliminates the need for web stiffeners under standard installation conditions.

Key Features

• 45 deg.-skewed right design (HSURC) - engineered to connect a 4x6 joist at a precise 45 deg. angle to the right
• Concealed header flanges provide cleaner visible lines in exposed construction conditions
• Heavy U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners required for standard installation
• A2 (acute) flange turned inward to accommodate end-of-wall installation
• Obround nail holes on the acute side allow nails to be installed easily parallel to the joist
• Accommodates joist skew angles from 40 deg. to 50 deg. - not limited strictly to 45 deg.
• Joist end may be square cut or bevel cut - installation flexibility included
• ZMAX coating for enhanced corrosion resistance
• 14-gauge steel construction for heavy-load applications
• Made in the United States

Installation

Fasten using #9 x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SD Connector screws OR 0.162" x 3-1/2" nails. Fill all round and obround nail holes with specified fasteners to achieve published table loads. Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut. These hangers cannot be modified but will accommodate a 40 deg.- to 50 deg.-skewed joist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size does the HSURC46Z support?

The HSURC46Z is engineered to support 4x6 lumber members, with the hanger's heavy U-shaped design encapsulating the top flange of the joist for a secure connection.

Does this hanger only work at exactly 45 deg., or can it accommodate nearby angles?

While the HSURC46Z is designed as a 45 deg.-skewed right hanger, it accommodates joist skew angles ranging from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing flexibility for installations that are not strictly at 45 deg..

Do I need web stiffeners when installing the HSURC46Z?

No, web stiffeners are not required under standard installation conditions. The heavy U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for them in typical applications.

What coating does the HSURC46Z have, and what gauge steel is it made from?

The HSURC46Z features a ZMAX coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and is constructed from 14-gauge steel, making it suitable for heavy-load applications.
