The Simpson LSSJ210LZ Light Adjustable Jack Hanger is a face-mount, left-skewed connector engineered by Simpson for joining jack rafters to hip members in sloped roof framing. A hinged, swivel seat makes the hanger field adjustable to all typical rafter slopes from 0:12 to 12:12, while the header flange allows skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg. - and because it ships pre-bent at 45 deg., it is ready to place for most typical applications straight out of the box. Built from 18-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized finish, this jack hanger is well suited for exterior roof assemblies and connections involving treated lumber.

Key Features

• One-sided installation with fully accessible fastener holes - eliminates the need to work from multiple angles, saving time and reducing installation effort on the job site.
• Retrofit-compatible design - can be added to an existing framing assembly without disassembling surrounding structure, making it a practical solution for repair and remodel projects.
• Seat grip for quick hanger placement - lets installers set the hanger in position fast and securely before driving fasteners, improving workflow efficiency.
• Hinged swivel seat accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 12:12 - a single hanger covers the full range of common rafter slopes, reducing the need to stock multiple hanger types.
• Swivel seat provides direct bearing support - transfers load through the seat rather than relying on fasteners alone, resulting in higher allowable loads for the connection.
• 18-gauge steel construction - delivers structural reliability in a lighter-weight profile suited for jack rafter and hip framing applications.
• ZMAX galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance beyond standard galvanization, making this hanger appropriate for exterior conditions and use with pressure-treated wood.
• Ships pre-bent at 45 deg. - arrives ready for the most common skewed rafter applications, reducing field adjustment time on typical installations.

Why This Product

• One hanger, virtually every common roof pitch - the field-adjustable swivel seat covers slopes from 0:12 to 12:12, so framers and contractors can handle a wide variety of hip roof configurations without sourcing pitch-specific hardware.
• Built for treated-wood and exterior framing environments - the ZMAX finish goes beyond standard galvanization to resist corrosion in the demanding conditions typical of outdoor roof assemblies and treated-lumber contact, helping the connection maintain integrity over time.
• Faster installs from a single side - because all fastener holes are accessible from one side and the seat grip holds the hanger in place during positioning, this jack hanger is designed to reduce the time and labor required per connection compared to hangers that demand two-sided access.
• Flexible enough for new construction and retrofit alike - the one-sided access and pre-bent 45 deg. configuration mean the LSSJ210LZ works just as effectively when added to existing framing as it does in new hip roof builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What roof pitch range does the LSSJ210LZ accommodate?

The LSSJ210LZ features a hinged, swivel seat that is field adjustable to cover all typical rafter slopes ranging from 0:12 to 12:12, making it suitable for a wide variety of roof configurations.

How much skew adjustment does this hanger allow?

The header flange on the LSSJ210LZ allows for easy skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg.. The hanger ships pre-bent at 45 deg. so it is ready to place for most typical applications right out of the box.

Why is ZMAX coating important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the LSSJ210LZ well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood where standard galvanization may not provide sufficient protection.

Can the LSSJ210LZ be installed in an existing structure as a retrofit?

Yes. The LSSJ210LZ is designed to be installed as a retrofit. Because the hanger installs from one side with all fastener holes easily accessible, it can be added to an existing assembly without the need to disassemble surrounding framing.
