HANGER OPTIONS
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. See also LSU/LSSU connectors.
U/HU may be skewed to a maximum of 67 and
sloped to a maximum of 45 . Hangers skewed
51-67 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 slope only or skew 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 ".
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 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 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.
Consult the factory for skew limitations.
When nailing into the carrying members end grain,
the allowable load is 0.67 of the table load.
For welding see Technical Bulletin T-HUHUC-W.

SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED SEAT
HUTF can be skewed to a maximum of 45 or sloped to a maximum
of 45 . HUTF can be skewed and sloped down only, provided W 2 ".
Hangers with a skew greater than 15 may have all the joist nailing
on the outside angle. No skew with slope up options available.
For the skewed-only HU34TF, HU24-2TF and HU44TF, the allowable
loads are 0.50 of the table load. All other models have a maximum
allowable load of 0.60 of the table loads.
For skews greater than 15 , uplift loads are 0.75 of the table loads.
For sloped and skewed hangers, the allowable loads are 0.70 of the
table loads.
For sloped down only hangers, allowable load is 0.78 of the table load.
CONCEALED FLANGE
HUTF is available with one A flange concealed provided the W
dimension is 2 or greater, at 0.85 of the table load. Specify HUCTF.
No skew options available.

INSTALLATION: Bevel-cut the joist for skewed hangers (see illustration).
HANGER HEIGHT
For hanger heights exceeding the joist height, the allowable load
is 0.50 of the table load.
SLOPED AND/OR SKEWED SEAT
WM/WMI may be skewed and/or sloped to 45 maximum.
The allowable load is 100% of the table load.
OFFSET TOP FLANGE
The top flange may be offset left or right for placement at the
end of a header. The allowable load is 0.50 of the table roof load.

No modifications on WMU.
