Product Description
The Simpson Heavy Skewed U-Shaped Joist Hanger - Skewed Left is a 45 deg. left-skewed connector engineered by Simpson to support large joist members or double I-joists in angled wood framing applications. The heavy U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, delivering a strong, reliable connection where joists meet a header or beam at a 45 deg. left angle - ideal for hip roofs, angled floor systems, and other skewed framing conditions.
Key Features
- 45 deg. left skew (HSUL) design - connects joist members at a precise angle to the header or beam, making it the correct choice for left-skewed framing layouts where a standard straight hanger cannot be used.
- Heavy U-shaped hanger that encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners are required for standard installation, saving time and reducing material costs on the job site.
- Compatible with large solid sawn joist members or double I-joists - gives builders flexibility across common heavy structural members without needing a separate hanger model for each application.
- 14-gauge steel construction - provides the structural strength needed for heavy-duty load performance in demanding framing assemblies.
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - offers corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber and moisture-exposed framing environments, protecting the connection over the life of the structure.
- Concealed-flange version available for end-of-wall solid sawn installations - the HSURC or HSULC variants turn the acute flange inward, giving contractors a clean solution for tight end-of-wall conditions without compromising performance.
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for left-skewed framing - rather than bending or forcing a straight hanger into an angled application, this hanger is designed specifically for 45 deg. left connections, ensuring a properly engineered fit and reliable load transfer from the start.
- Simplified installation without web stiffeners - the U-shaped design does the work of stabilizing the joist top flange, reducing the number of additional components a crew needs to carry and install on site.
- Broad joist compatibility in one hanger - support for both large solid sawn members and double I-joists means contractors can standardize around a single hanger model across multiple framing scenarios, reducing ordering complexity.
- Manufactured in the United States by Simpson - backed by a brand with a well-established track record in structural connectors, giving builders and inspectors confidence in the product's quality and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between the HSUR and HSUL hangers?
- The HSUR and HSUL hangers are identical in design except for the direction of their 45-degree skew. The HSUR is skewed to the right, while the HSUL is skewed to the left. The HSUL4.28/11 is the left-skewed version.
- Are web stiffeners required when installing the HSUL4.28/11?
- No. The heavy U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so web stiffeners are not required for standard installation.
- What joist types does the HSUL4.28/11 support?
- The HSUL4.28/11 is designed to support large joist members or double I-joists in wood construction applications.
- Is a concealed flange version of this hanger available?
- Yes. A version with the A2 (acute) flange turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation is available for solid sawn sizes only - see the HSURC or HSULC hangers in the Related Products section below.
