The LS connector is a cost-effective method for connecting roof rafters to hip rafters. The durable design and fastening options of these load-rated skewable angles make them an ideal option compared to field-fabricated clip angles. The LS has well-defined fastener locations, and testing ensures that the tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities.

Key Features

  • The connectors are general utility-reinforcing angles with multiple uses
  • Field-adjustable angles from 0° to 135° allow for attaching members intersecting at angles
  • Perfect angle series for many household repairs and DIY projects

Material

  • 43 mil (18 ga.)

Finish

  • Galvanized or ZMAX®; some models available in stainless-steel

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
  • Field skewable; bend one time only
  • CFS framing must be constrained against rotation when using a single LS per connection
