Frequently Asked Questions

What size and type of joist does the HSULC214-2 support?

The HSULC214-2 is designed to support double 2x14 lumber members. It features a heavy U-shaped construction built for demanding structural load requirements in wood framing applications.

What skew angle does this joist hanger accommodate?

This hanger is engineered for a 45 deg. left-skewed connection and will accommodate joists skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg.. It cannot be modified, so it should only be used within that skew range. The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut.

What are the concealed flanges and why do they matter?

The concealed header flanges are designed to hide behind the header, delivering cleaner and more finished visible lines in exposed framing conditions. This makes the HSULC214-2 a preferred choice when the framing will remain visible in the finished space.

Do web stiffeners need to be installed alongside this hanger?

No, web stiffeners are not required for standard installation. The hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in typical applications. Additionally, the obround nail holes on the acute side allow nails to be installed parallel to the joist for easier fastening.
