The Simpson Double 2x6 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Left is a purpose-built connector designed to support double 2x6 members at a 45 deg. left skew in wood-framed floor and roof systems. Part of Simpson's HSULC series, this hanger is the go-to solution for angled joist-to-header connections where both structural reliability and a clean finished appearance are priorities. Its concealed flange design makes it especially well suited for exposed framing conditions, while its compatibility with a 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range gives framers a practical degree of flexibility on the job site.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Left-Skew Configuration - Engineered specifically for left-skewed framing layouts, this hanger eliminates the need for field-fabricated connections, saving time and ensuring a structurally sound angular installation.
• Concealed Header Flanges - Flanges are hidden once installed, resulting in cleaner, more finished visible lines - a clear advantage in exposed framing applications where aesthetics matter alongside performance.
• Double 2x6 Member Support - Sized precisely for doubled joist configurations, making it a reliable fit for residential and light commercial wood construction projects that require extra load-carrying capacity at skewed connections.
• 40 deg. to 50 deg. Skew Tolerance - Accommodates a range of skew angles around the 45 deg. target, providing useful flexibility when field conditions introduce minor angular variation.
• 14-Gauge Construction with G90 Zinc Galvanized Coating - Heavy-gauge steel with a corrosion-resistant finish delivers durability suited to demanding structural applications and helps the hanger hold up in moisture-prone environments.
• Made in the United States - Produced domestically under Simpson's established manufacturing standards, supporting consistent quality control and reliable performance on every installation.

Why This Product

• Handles the Angles Other Hangers Can Not - Standard square-cut hangers are not an option for skewed framing. This hanger is purpose-designed for 45 deg. left-skew connections, making it the correct structural solution for angled joist-to-header applications in floor and roof systems.
• Concealed Flanges Keep Exposed Work Looking Professional - Where framing will be visible, flange appearance matters. The concealed flange design integrates cleanly with the header, removing the visual clutter of exposed metal flanges without sacrificing load capacity.
• Engineered Fit for Double 2x6 Members - Because this hanger is sized precisely for a double 2x6 configuration, there is no guesswork or field modification required - the member seats correctly, and installation proceeds efficiently.
• G90 Galvanized Steel for Lasting Structural Integrity - The zinc galvanized coating resists corrosion over the life of the structure, making this hanger a dependable choice not just at installation but for the long term in both interior and moderately exposed conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size joist member is this hanger designed to support?

The HSULC26-2 is specifically engineered to support double 2x6 members, making it suitable for wood framing applications that require a doubled joist configuration at a skewed angle.

What is the skew angle of this hanger, and can it accommodate slight variations?

This hanger is designed for a 45 deg. left skew. It will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a small range of flexibility. However, these hangers cannot be modified to adjust the skew angle beyond that range.

What makes the HSULC26-2 different from a standard joist hanger?

Unlike a standard joist hanger, the HSULC26-2 features concealed header flanges that provide cleaner, more finished visible lines in exposed conditions. It also encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners during standard installation. Additionally, the A2 (acute) flange is turned in to accommodate end-of-wall installation, and obround nail holes on the acute side allow nails to be installed parallel to the joist for easier fastening.

What finish and gauge does this hanger use, and how does that affect corrosion resistance?

The HSULC26-2 is constructed from 14-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of construction environments.
