See Hanger Options General Notes.

Not all Slope and Skew Combinations are available.

Sloped and/or Skewed:

• For low-cost, code-reported 45° skews, see:
  
  • SUR/SUL and HSUR/HSUL for Solid-Sawn Wood
  • SUR/SUL and HSUR/HSUL for Engineered Wood and Structural Composite Lumber
  • LSU/LSSU for Solid-Sawn Wood
  • LSU/LSSU for Engineered Wood and Structural Composite Lumber
• U/HU may be skewed to a maximum of 45° and sloped to a maximum of 45°. Hangers 5 1/2" or less in width may be skewed to 67 1/2°. Hangers skewed 51°- 67 1/2° require a square cut.
• For all options, uplift loads are 0.75 of table loads.
• For combined slopes and skews, the maximum allowable download is 0.80 of the table load.
• For skewed hangers 3 9/16" and less in width, the allowable download is 100% of the table load. For skewed hangers over 3 9/16" in width the allowable download is 80% of the table load. For slope only, the allowable download is 100% of the table load.

Straight or Concealed Flange:

• HU is available with the A flanges straight at 100% of the table loads if W ≥ 3 1/2".
• If W < 3", use N10 nails at 0.64 of the table load.
• If W ≥ 3", use 10d nails at 0.84 of the table load.
• HU is available with A flanges concealed, provided the W dimension is 2 5/16" or greater, at 100% of the table load. Specify HUC.
• HU is available with one flange concealed when the W dimension is less than 2 5/16" at 100% of the table load.
• For skewed only HUC hangers, the flange on the acute side can be concealed at 100% of the table load. See table for skew limitations.
• For sloped only hangers, flanges can be concealed at 100% of the table load.
• For sloped and skewed hangers, the flange on the acute side can be concealed at 0.80 of the table load. Contact Simpson for skew limitations.
• When nailing into the carrying member's end grain, the allowable load is 0.67 of the table load.
• For welding see Technical Bulletin T-HUHUC-W06.
• HUS with concealed flanges specify HUSC. See HUS for Solid-Sawn or HUS for Plated Truss.
