(OP)
How come they do not have any adjustable slopeable/skewable hanger for (3)-2x ? But they do have it LSU3510-2 which is for LVL but it should fit (3)-2x (4 1/2 to 4 3/4 wide). Has anyone noticed this? I have been specifying LSU3510-2 for sloped or skewed (3)-2x12.

Think of the bottom plate of the hanger as a very flexible support beam. Now if three joists were installed and were able to slide independently of each other then the support for the middle ply will give more than the outer 2.
This could be an issue for the skewed hangers which are a bit more flexible than the standard ones.
Just a thought.
