The Simpson Double 2x10 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Right is a heavy-duty structural connector purpose-built to support double 2x10 joist members in wood-frame construction where a 45 deg. right-skewed connection is required. Its concealed header flange design keeps the hanger hidden behind the header, delivering clean framing lines in exposed conditions where both structural integrity and finished appearance matter. Produced by Simpson, this U-shaped hanger is an engineered solution for residential and light commercial projects that demand precise directional support without compromising load capacity.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Right-Skewed Configuration - Designed specifically for framing layouts that require a right-hand skew, accommodating angles between 40 deg. and 50 deg. so installers can achieve accurate connections even when framing conditions are not perfectly square.
• Double 2x10 Joist Capacity - Sized and rated to carry doubled joist assemblies, making it well suited for heavier load paths in floor and roof framing where a single member is not sufficient.
• Concealed Flange Design - The header flange sits behind the header rather than wrapping around its face, resulting in a cleaner, more professional appearance in exposed framing applications where visible hardware is undesirable.
• 14-Gauge Steel with G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating - The heavier gauge provides the structural rigidity expected from a heavy U-shaped hanger, while the G90 galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance suitable for the approved application environments.
• Flexible Fastener Compatibility - Accepts either Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws or nails, giving crews the option to use the fastener type that best matches their tools and workflow on site.
• Square or Bevel Cut Joist End - The hanger accommodates both square-cut and bevel-cut joist ends, reducing the need for additional field modifications and keeping installation straightforward.

Why This Product

• Solves a Specific Framing Challenge - When a project calls for a right-skewed joist connection at or near 45 deg., using a hanger engineered for that exact geometry eliminates field fabrication workarounds and keeps the connection within engineered load parameters.
• Aesthetics Without Compromise - The concealed flange keeps structural hardware out of sight in exposed framing scenarios, so builders working on visible ceiling or deck structures do not have to choose between appearance and proper support.
• Built for Double-Member Assemblies - Supporting doubled 2x10 joists is a common requirement in spans carrying heavier loads; having a connector sized precisely for that assembly avoids field modifications that can affect performance.
• Trusted Simpson Quality - Simpson is a recognized name in structural connectors, and specifying a Simpson product gives builders, inspectors, and project owners confidence that the connector meets the expectations of professional wood-frame construction.

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.
