The Simpson Double 2x6 Concealed Flange Joist Hanger Skewed Right HSURC26-2 is a 14-gauge steel connector engineered to support double 2x6 members at a precise 45 deg. skewed-right angle in wood-framed construction. Its concealed header flange design keeps visible framing lines clean and professional, making it equally suited to exposed interior applications and end-of-wall installations where the A2 acute flange turned in is required. Built to accommodate joist skew angles ranging from 40 deg. to 50 deg., this hanger accepts both square-cut and bevel-cut joist ends, giving framers flexibility without sacrificing structural reliability.

Key Features

• 45 deg. skewed-right geometry - positions double 2x6 joist members at the correct angle for angled framing connections, eliminating the need for field fabrication or custom blocking
• Concealed flange design - hides the header-side flange from view so exposed framing looks finished and professional without additional trim work
• 14-gauge steel construction with G90 Zinc Galvanized coating - delivers heavy-duty load capacity and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding wood framing applications
• 40 deg. to 50 deg. angle tolerance - accommodates minor framing variations within that range, reducing the need for precise angle re-cuts on the job site
• Compatible with square-cut or bevel-cut joist ends - works with standard framing cuts, saving time and material during installation
• Multiple approved fastener options - accepts either #9 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws or specified nail sizes, giving installers the flexibility to use preferred fastening methods to achieve rated table loads

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for angled double-member connections - the fixed 45 deg. skew-right configuration means the hanger arrives ready to handle exactly the framing geometry where standard square hangers fall short, with no field modification required
• Aesthetics meet structural performance - the concealed flange keeps hardware out of sight on exposed framing, so there is no trade-off between a clean finished appearance and a code-compliant, load-rated connection
• Designed and produced by Simpson - a trusted name in structural connectors, this hanger is manufactured in the United States and meets the quality standards contractors rely on for wood-framed residential and commercial projects
• Installation flexibility built in - the 40 deg. to 50 deg. angle accommodation, combined with square-cut and bevel-cut compatibility and a choice of fastener types, reduces costly adjustments and keeps framing schedules on track

Frequently Asked Questions

What size and type of joist member is the HSURC26-2 designed to support?

The HSURC26-2 is specifically engineered to support double 2x6 members in wood construction framing applications.

What is the skew angle of this hanger, and can it be adjusted or modified?

This hanger is skewed right at a precise 45 deg. angle and is capable of accommodating joists skewed between 40 deg. and 50 deg.. The hanger cannot be modified - it must be used as designed without any field alterations to the skew angle.

What materials and coating are used in the construction of the HSURC26-2?

The HSURC26-2 is constructed from 14-gauge steel with a G90 Zinc Galvanized coating, which provides reliable corrosion resistance for use in wood framing applications.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the HSURC26-2?

No, web stiffeners are not required. The hanger's heavy U-shaped construction encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installation.
