The Simpson SUR2.56/14 SUR Galvanized Joist Hanger for 2-1/2 in. x 14 in. Engineered Wood, Skewed Right from Simpson is a 45 deg.-skewed hanger engineered to support solid sawn and engineered wood products in wood construction. This U-shaped hanger encapsulates the top flange of the joist, so no web stiffeners are required for standard installation - simplifying the process and reducing labor on skewed framing layouts where a precise, load-bearing connection is critical.

Key Features

• Skewed right at 45 deg. - purpose-built for right-skewed joist connections, removing any guesswork when framing angled bays
• Accommodates 40 deg. to 50 deg. skew range - provides built-in flexibility for joists that fall slightly off the 45 deg. nominal angle, without requiring any field modification
• Obround nail holes on the acute side - allow nails to be driven parallel to the joist, making fastening straightforward even in the tightest framing corners
• Positive-angle nailing for engineered wood sizes - reduces the risk of wood splitting and speeds up installation, keeping projects on schedule
• U-shaped design encapsulates the top flange of the joist - eliminates the need for web stiffeners during standard installation, saving material and assembly time
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers structural strength and durability suited to demanding load conditions in wood framing applications
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - provides corrosion resistance to help maintain connection integrity over time in exposed or treated-lumber environments

Why This Product

• Engineered for angled framing without compromise - the fixed 45 deg. right-skew geometry and 40 deg. to 50 deg. accommodation range mean this hanger handles real-world skewed layouts without field cutting, bending, or guesswork
• No web stiffeners required - the U-shaped encapsulating design eliminates an extra installation step, reducing both material costs and time on the job for solid sawn and engineered wood connections
• Fastener flexibility speeds completion - compatible with either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws, so crews can work with the fastening method that best suits their tools and schedule
• G90 galvanized coating for lasting performance - corrosion-resistant zinc galvanizing helps protect the connection at the hanger, supporting long-term structural reliability in wood construction

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SUR and SUL hanger?

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. Choose SUR when your joist angles to the right relative to the header or beam.

Can the SUR2.56/14 be field-modified to fit different skew angles?

No, these hangers cannot be modified. However, they are designed to accommodate a joist skewed anywhere from 40 deg. to 50 deg., providing a degree of flexibility within that range without any alteration to the hanger.

What fasteners are required to install the SUR2.56/14?

Install with (18) 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 (20) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (SD9112).

Why does the SUR2.56/14 feature obround nail holes on the acute side?

The obround nail holes on the acute side are specifically designed to allow nails to be easily installed parallel to the joist, simplifying installation in tight or angled framing conditions while maintaining proper fastener alignment.

Note: Product dimensions and/or Screw or Nail holes may differ from picture. See item description for specifications.
