LSSJ Field-Adjustable Jack Hanger
On This Page
Product Details
The Simpson Strong-Tie® LSSJ field-adjustable jack hanger is the ideal hanger for connecting jack rafters to hip/valley members. Its simple design makes installation intuitive and quick, resulting in lower labor costs. Featuring a versatile, hinged seat, the LSSJ is easily field-adjustable to typical rafter slopes, with a max slope of 12:12. It ships prebent with a 45° skew, making it ready to place for the most typical rafter conditions, and can be field-adjusted for lesser skews. Additionally, it can be installed as a retrofit, enabling installers to first tack all the rafters into place without pausing and to then install the hanger later. The LSSJ hanger is available skewed left or skewed right.
Key Features
