Slope/Skew Hangers – LSSH series<br />
EWP Hangers<br />
The LSSH series connects rafters to ridge beams in vaulted<br />
roof structures. This series is field adjustable to meet a<br />
variety of skew and/or slope applications. Slopes to any pitch<br />
up to 45° up or down and skews up to 45° right or left.<br />
Materials: See chart<br />
Finish: G90 galvanizing; LSSH15-TZ – G-185<br />
Triple Zinc galvanizing<br />
Options: LSSH210 and LSSH31 are available in Triple<br />
Zinc. To order, add TZ to stock number, as in<br />
LSSH210-TZ. LSSH15 and LSSH210 are<br />
available in Stainless steel. To order, add SS<br />
to stock number, as in LSSH210-SS.<br />
Codes: Factored resistances are derived from data<br />
submitted to various North American building<br />
code evaluators and are in accordance with<br />
CSA O86-09.<br />
<strong>Installation</strong>:<br />
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product <strong>Notes</strong>, page 10.<br />
Steps:<br />
1. Position LSSH connector against plumb-cut end of rafter joist.<br />
Fasten joist side flanges with 10d (0.148") x 11/2˝ nails.<br />
Bend seat up to fit against joist bottom and drive<br />
(1) 10d (0.148") x 11/2˝ nail through bottom seat into rafter<br />
bottom. Drive (2) 10d (0.148") x 11/2˝ nails at downward<br />
angle through dimpled nailing guides.<br />
2. Lean connector and rafter end against ridge beam at desired<br />
position. Install 10d (0.148" x 3") or 16d (0.162" x 3 1/2˝) nails<br />
through nail holes into ridge beam at right 90° angle.<br />
If skewing the rafter, only drive nails into ridge beam on inside<br />
flange.<br />
3. Bend outside flange to desired angle.<br />
4. Hammer outside flange until edge touches header. Fasten<br />
outside flange to ridge by driving 10d (0.148" x 3") or<br />
16d (0.162" x 3 1/2˝) nails through nail holes.<br />
• Web stiffeners are required for all wood I-Joist installations.<br />
