The Simpson THA218-2 Double 2x Truss Adjustable Hanger is a Simpson wood connector engineered for framing applications where precise vertical positioning of a truss must be determined in the field. Featuring extra-long, straight straps that allow height adjustment before final fastening, this U-shaped hanger accommodates both top-flange and face-mount installation methods, giving contractors and framers the flexibility to adapt to varying job site conditions without switching hardware.

Key Features

• Extra-long, straight straps - allow the height location of the truss to be adjusted in the field before final fastening, eliminating costly repositioning or rework
• Top-flange and face-mount compatibility - supports both installation methods in a single product, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types for different framing scenarios
• U-shaped connector body sized for a double 2x truss - provides a secure, form-fitting cradle that keeps the truss properly aligned and structurally supported throughout its service life
• Min./max. nailing installation options - gives installers a defined fastener schedule range so the connection can be optimized for the specific load requirements of each application
• 16-gauge steel construction with Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers the structural strength and corrosion resistance required for both interior framing and exposed or high-humidity environments

Why This Product

• Field-adjustable height positioning sets it apart from fixed hangers - because the strap length allows vertical placement to be dialed in on site, this hanger is especially practical for complex roof or floor framing where truss elevation cannot always be pre-determined at the design stage
• Dual installation method support adds real job site versatility - the ability to switch between top-flange and face-mount approaches with the same connector means fewer trips to the supplier and faster adaptation to changing framing conditions
• Simpson engineering paired with domestic production - the THA218-2 is backed by a brand with a long track record in structural connectors, and it is produced in the United States, which can support project specifications that require domestic materials
• G90 galvanized coating provides lasting corrosion protection - for framing in garages, covered porches, or other environments where moisture exposure is a concern, the G90 coating helps maintain connector integrity over the long term without adding complexity to installation

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the THA218-2 different from a standard fixed truss hanger?

The THA218-2 features extra-long, straight straps that allow the height location of the truss to be adjusted in the field before final fastening, unlike standard fixed-height hangers that lock the truss into a single predetermined position.

Can the THA218-2 be used for both top-flange and face-mount installations?

Yes. The THA218-2 is designed to accommodate both top-flange and face-mount installation methods, giving installers flexibility depending on the specific framing conditions of the project.

What size truss is the THA218-2 designed to support?

The THA218-2 is specifically designed for a double 2x truss, with a width of 3 1/8 in. and a height of 17 11/16 in. to match those member dimensions.

What fastener guidelines should be followed when installing the THA218-2?

All specified fasteners must be used during installation. The THA218-2 supports min./max. nailing installation options - refer to the manufacturer's published load tables and installation specifications for the correct fastener schedule for your application.
