The Simpson Double 2x10 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Right (HSURC210-2) is a heavy-duty, 45 deg.-skewed structural connector engineered to support double 2x10 joist members in demanding wood-frame construction applications. Featuring a concealed header flange design, this U-shaped hanger delivers clean, professional visible lines ideal for exposed conditions where aesthetics matter as much as structural performance. Manufactured in the United States, the HSURC210-2 is skewed 45 deg. to the right, making it the go-to solution when framing angles require precise directional support without sacrificing load capacity or installation integrity.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Right-Skewed Design: Specifically engineered to support joists skewed 45 deg. to the right (HSURC); accommodates joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg. without modification.
• Concealed Header Flanges: Provides cleaner visible lines in exposed construction conditions, enhancing the finished appearance of the framing.
• A2 (Acute) Flange Turned In: Accommodates end-of-wall installation, maximizing versatility in tight framing scenarios.
• No Web Stiffeners Required: Encapsulates the top flange of the joist for standard installation, eliminating the need for web stiffeners and simplifying the build process.
• Obround Nail Holes on Acute Side: Allows nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist, improving fastener access and installation efficiency.
• Cannot Be Modified: Engineered to precise specifications; the hanger cannot be field-modified but will accommodate a 40 deg. - 50 deg. skewed joist as designed.
• Triangle Holes for Additional Uplift: Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity.
• G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating: Provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of wood construction environments.
• Made in the United States: Manufactured domestically to rigorous quality standards.

Approved Applications

• Supporting double 2x10 lumber members in wood-frame construction
• End-of-wall joist installations requiring a 45 deg. right-skewed connection
• Exposed framing conditions where concealed flanges are preferred for a cleaner aesthetic
• Framing scenarios involving joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg. to the right
• Residential and light commercial wood construction projects requiring heavy U-shaped hanger support

Installation

The HSURC210-2 requires the following fasteners for proper installation:

• #9 x 2-1/2" Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws OR
• 0.162" x 3-1/2" Nails and 0.162" x 2-1/2" Nails

The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut. Fill all round and obround nail holes with the specified fasteners to achieve published table loads. Where noted, triangle holes in the joist flange may be filled for additional uplift capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What joist size and configuration is the HSURC210-2 designed to support?

The HSURC210-2 is specifically engineered to support double 2x10 joist members, making it suitable for heavy-duty wood-frame construction applications where doubled joist assemblies are required.

What skew angle does this hanger accommodate, and can it handle angles slightly off 45 deg.?

This hanger is designed for a 45 deg. right-skewed installation. It can accommodate joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg. without modification, providing a small degree of flexibility for framing that falls within that range.

Can the HSURC210-2 be field-modified to fit a different configuration?

No. The HSURC210-2 is engineered to precise specifications and cannot be field-modified. It must be used as manufactured to maintain its structural integrity and performance.

Why choose a concealed flange hanger over a standard joist hanger for this application?

The concealed header flange design provides cleaner visible lines in exposed construction conditions, making it a better choice when aesthetics matter alongside structural performance. This is particularly beneficial in applications where the framing will remain visible in the finished space.
