The Simpson SULC26-2 Concealed Joist Hanger Skewed Left for Double 2x6 is a zinc galvanized, 16-gauge connector engineered for 45 deg. left-skewed framing connections where two 2x6 joist members meet a header at a precise angle. Its concealed header flange design keeps structural hardware out of sight, making it a practical choice for exposed framing conditions where clean, finished lines matter as much as load-bearing performance.

Key Features

• 45 deg. Left-Skew Orientation - Purpose-built for angled framing layouts where standard straight hangers cannot achieve the correct connection geometry, eliminating the need for field fabrication or workarounds.
• Double 2x6 Member Support - Sized precisely to carry two 2x6 joists acting as a single structural unit, giving builders a reliable, tested solution for doubled-joist applications.
• Concealed Header Flanges - The U-shaped design tucks flanges within the header so that hardware remains hidden from view, producing unobtrusive visible lines in exposed or finish-grade framing.
• Zinc Galvanized G90 Coating - Factory-applied G90 galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to residential and commercial wood construction environments.
• Dual Fastener Compatibility - Accepts either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving installers the flexibility to use the fastener type that best fits the job site and tools on hand.
• American-Made Construction - Produced to Simpson quality standards with consistent dimensional accuracy, supporting confident use in structural framing applications.

Why This Product

• Solves a Specific Framing Challenge - When joists must meet a header at a 45 deg. left angle, off-the-shelf straight hangers are not an option. This hanger is engineered specifically for that geometry, saving time and reducing the risk of improvised, non-engineered connections.
• Aesthetics Without Compromise - The concealed flange design addresses a real pain point in exposed framing: structural connectors that are visible and unsightly. This hanger handles the load while keeping the connection visually clean.
• Flexibility on the Job Site - Compatibility with both nail and screw fastening options means crews are not locked into a single installation method, reducing delays when one fastener type is unavailable.
• Confidence in Fit and Function - Built to support double 2x6 members with precise, fixed dimensions, this hanger removes guesswork from the connection detail and supports consistent results across residential and commercial wood framing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lumber size is the SULC26-2 designed to support?

The SULC26-2 is engineered specifically to support double 2x6 framing members, making it suitable for applications where two 2x6 joists are used together as a single structural unit.

What is the skew direction and angle of this hanger?

This hanger is designed for a 45-degree left-skewed connection. It is intended for framing applications where the joist member meets the header at a precise 45-degree angle to the left. For right-skewed applications, a different model would be required.

What are the physical dimensions of the SULC26-2?

The SULC26-2 measures 3-1/8 inches in width (W), 4-15/16 inches in height (H), and 2-5/8 inches in seat depth (B).

What fastener types are compatible with this hanger?

The SULC26-2 accepts both nails and Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, giving installers flexibility in choosing the fastener type that best suits their application and installation method.
