The Simpson SUR2.1/11 Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2-1/16 in. x 11-7/8 in. Engineered Wood, Skewed Right is a 45 deg.-skewed structural connector from Simpson designed to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. This U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, eliminating the need for web stiffeners in standard installations and delivering a strong, reliable connection wherever right-hand skewed framing is required.

Key Features

• Skewed 45 deg. to the right - purpose-built for right-hand skewed framing conditions, allowing accurate, code-compliant connections without field modification
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides built-in flexibility for framing angles that fall slightly off 45 deg., reducing the need for custom solutions
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allow nails to be installed parallel to the joist, simplifying fastening in tight or angled framing situations
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - helps prevent wood splitting during installation and speeds up the fastening process on the job site
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - no web stiffeners required for standard installation, cutting down on labor and extra materials
• Made from 16-gauge steel - provides the structural strength needed for load-bearing joist connections in demanding wood framing applications
• Zinc galvanized finish (G90) - offers corrosion resistance suited to a range of construction environments, helping maintain long-term connection integrity

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for skewed framing - rather than adapting a standard hanger, this connector is factory-set at 45 deg. right and accepts a 40 deg. to 50 deg. range, so it handles real-world framing tolerances without improvisation or field modification
• Faster, cleaner installation - the combination of obround nail holes on the acute side, positive-angle nailing, and no web stiffener requirement means fewer steps, less hardware, and quicker assembly for skewed joist connections
• Designed for engineered wood products - the hanger's geometry and nailing pattern are specifically suited to the dimensions and splitting sensitivity of engineered lumber, making it a reliable choice for modern framing assemblies
• Backed by Simpson quality and domestic production - manufactured in the United States from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this connector meets the expectations of contractors who need consistent performance from a trusted structural hardware brand

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hangers?

The SUR and SUL hangers are identical in construction except that the SUR is skewed 45 deg. to the right and the SUL is skewed 45 deg. to the left. The SUR2.1/11 is the right-skewed version designed for right-hand skewed joist applications.

Can the SUR2.1/11 be field-modified to adjust the skew angle?

No. These hangers cannot be modified in the field. However, the SUR2.1/11 will accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range.

Are web stiffeners required when installing the SUR2.1/11?

No. The U-shaped design of the SUR2.1/11 encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.1/11?

Install with (16) 0.162 x 3-1/2 in. nails in the face and (2) 0.148 x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist, OR (18) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).
