The Simpson HSURC26-2 is a heavy-duty, 45 deg.-skewed concealed flange joist hanger engineered to support double 2x6 members in wood construction. Skewed right at a precise 45 deg. angle, this hanger delivers structural integrity where angled framing connections are required - all while maintaining clean, professional-looking visible lines thanks to its concealed header flange design. Built to handle the demands of modern wood framing, the HSURC26-2 is manufactured in the United States and constructed from 14-gauge steel with a G90 Zinc Galvanized coating for reliable corrosion resistance. Whether used at end-of-wall installations or exposed interior applications, this hanger provides a dependable, code-compliant connection without compromising aesthetics.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Skewed Right Design: Specifically engineered as a right-skewed (HSURC) hanger, capable of accommodating joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg. - the hanger cannot be modified
• Concealed Header Flanges: Provides cleaner visible lines in exposed framing conditions, ideal for finished or semi-finished spaces
• A2 (Acute) Flange Turned In: Designed to accommodate end-of-wall installation with precision and ease
• No Web Stiffeners Required: Encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installation
• Obround Nail Holes on Acute Side: Allows nails to be installed parallel to the joist for straightforward fastening in tight or angled conditions
• Heavy U-Shaped Construction: 14-gauge steel provides robust, load-bearing support for double 2x6 lumber
• G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating: Offers enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments
• Triangle Holes in Joist Flange: May be filled for additional uplift capacity where noted
• Flexible Joist End Cut: The joist end may be square cut or bevel cut - no special preparation required
• Made in the United States
