The Simpson 5-Way Truss Hip/Jack Hanger with Screws THJM2-5-SDS3 is a non-welded connector engineered for multi-plane, angled bay roof framing - purpose-built to handle radial-end jack framing connections in hip roof systems where five jack trusses or joists converge at a common point. Designed by Simpson with a unique patented configuration, this hanger delivers reliable structural performance in the complex geometry of breakfast nooks, study alcoves, library bays, and similar angled roof applications, all while simplifying installation through screw-based fastening.

Key Features

• Non-welded 5-way hanger design - accommodates five single 2x jack trusses or joists entering at 30 deg. angles from the girder and from each other, giving framers a single connector solution for complex hip roof intersections without fabrication or field welding
• Patented geometry for 2x4 girder bottom chords - engineered specifically to fit 2x4 bottom chord girders, ensuring a precise, code-compliant connection at the most critical load transfer point in hip and bay roof framing
• Included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (1/4 in. x 3 in.) - fasteners ship with the hanger so crews can begin installation immediately, with fewer fasteners required per connection compared to nail-only methods
• Obround holes on seat tabs for optional slant nails - allows installers to add 0.148 in. x 1 1/2 in. slant nails when a project demands increased uplift resistance, adding flexibility without requiring a different connector
• Zinc galvanized G90 coating and 12-gauge steel construction - provides corrosion resistance suited to typical residential framing environments while maintaining the structural integrity required for multi-jack hip roof loads

Why This Product

• One connector handles a five-way hip intersection - rather than engineering custom solutions or stacking multiple hangers, this single patented hanger manages all five jack trusses or joists at 30 deg. angles simultaneously, reducing material complexity and installation time on angled bay roof framing
• Fasteners are included, not an add-on - the Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws ship with the hanger, so there is no need to separately source compatible fasteners or risk field substitutions that could affect load ratings
• Built-in uplift flexibility without a product change - the obround holes on the seat tabs allow optional slant nails to be added on the same connector whenever project conditions call for greater uplift resistance, eliminating the need to specify a different hanger mid-project
• Designed for real-world bay roof geometry - with approved applications specifically covering radial-end jack framing in breakfast nooks, study alcoves, and library bays, this hanger addresses framing conditions that standard hangers are not configured to handle cleanly
