Product Description
The Simpson 4-Way Truss Hip/Jack Hanger with SDS Screws is a non-welded connector engineered by Simpson to carry radial-end jack framing and deliver optimal efficiency for multi-plane, angled bay roof configurations - including those commonly found over breakfast nooks, study alcoves, and library spaces. Its patented design accommodates four incoming jack trusses at precise angles, making it a purpose-built solution for complex hip roof framing where standard hangers fall short.
Key Features
- Non-welded construction designed for radial-end jack framing - provides a clean, reliable connection in multi-plane angled bay roof assemblies without the limitations of welded alternatives
- Patented design accommodates 2x4 girder bottom chords - fits standard girder chord sizing so framing crews can work with common lumber dimensions without custom modification
- Supports four incoming jack trusses at engineered angles - outer jacks are positioned at 22 1/2 deg. from the face of the girder and inner jacks at 45 deg. from each other and from the outer jacks, ensuring precise geometry for symmetrical hip roof layouts
- Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included - hardware ships ready to install, reducing jobsite delays and eliminating the need to source compatible fasteners separately
- Obround holes in seat tabs for optional slant nails - accommodates 0.148" x 1 1/2" slant nails where increased uplift resistance is needed, giving installers flexibility to meet higher load demands
- 12-gauge Zinc Galvanized G90 steel construction - corrosion-resistant coating helps protect structural integrity in the moisture-prone environments typical of enclosed roof assemblies
Why This Product
- Engineered specifically for hip and jack truss geometry - rather than adapting a general-purpose hanger, this connector is purpose-designed for the exact angle relationships found in 4-way hip roof framing, reducing layout guesswork and improving connection accuracy on complex roof structures
- Comes complete with installation fasteners - the included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws mean the hanger and hardware arrive together, keeping the installation process straightforward and minimizing the chance of mismatched fastener selection
- Built-in uplift resistance upgrade path - the obround holes in the seat tabs allow slant nails to be added when project conditions demand greater uplift performance, making this hanger adaptable to varying structural requirements without switching products
- Trusted Simpson quality made in the United States - backed by Simpson's engineering standards, this connector is a dependable choice for residential hip roof framing projects where precision and load performance are non-negotiable

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of framing application is the THJM2-4-SDS3 designed for?
The THJM2-4-SDS3 is designed to carry radial-end jack framing and provide optimal efficiency for multi-plane, angled bay roofs, such as those commonly found over breakfast nooks, study alcoves, and library spaces.
How many jack trusses does this hanger accommodate, and at what angles?
This hanger is designed for four incoming jack trusses. The outer jacks are positioned at 221/2 deg. from the face of the girder, while the inner jacks are set at 45 deg. from each other and from the outer jacks.
What fasteners are used to install the THJM2-4-SDS3, and are they included?
The THJM2-4-SDS3 is designed for installation with 1/4" x 3" Strong-Drive(R) SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are included with the hanger for convenient, ready-to-install use.
Is there a way to increase uplift resistance when using this hanger?
Yes. The tabs on the seats of the THJM include obround holes that accommodate optional slant nails (0.148" x 11/2") for situations where increased uplift resistance is required beyond what the standard SDS screw installation provides.
