The Simpson LSSJ26RZ Light Adjustable Jack Hanger from Simpson is engineered to make jack rafter-to-hip-member connections faster and more reliable in a wide range of roof framing situations. Its hinged, swivel seat adjusts in the field to accommodate all typical rafter slopes from 0 deg. to 12 deg. in 12, and the header flange allows skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg. - with this right-hand model shipping pre-bent at 45 deg. so it is ready to place for most typical applications right out of the box. Built from 18-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization, this face-mount hanger is equally at home in new construction and retrofit applications where corrosion resistance and structural dependability matter.

Key Features

• One-sided installation with fully accessible fastener holes - lets you complete the connection from a single position, saving time and reducing awkward maneuvering on the roof.
• Retrofit-compatible design - can be added to existing framing without disassembly, making it a practical solution for repair and renovation projects as well as new builds.
• Seat grip for quick hanger placement - speeds up installation by holding the hanger securely in position while you drive fasteners.
• Field-adjustable swivel seat covering 0:12 to 12:12 roof pitches - gives framers the flexibility to handle virtually any residential or light commercial roof slope without stocking multiple hanger sizes.
• Swivel seat provides direct bearing support to the joist - delivers a higher load capacity than relying on fasteners alone, contributing to a stronger, more dependable connection.
• Skew adjusts from 0 deg. to 45 deg. and ships pre-bent at 45 deg. - cuts layout time on the most common hip rafter applications so crews can move quickly from setup to fastening.
• ZMAX galvanized coating on 18-gauge steel - provides enhanced corrosion resistance suited for exterior environments and direct contact with treated lumber, extending the service life of the connection.

Why This Product

• One hanger, nearly every roof pitch - the field-adjustable seat and header flange handle slopes from flat to steep and skews up to 45 deg., reducing the number of different connectors a crew needs to keep on hand for hip rafter framing.
• Faster, simpler installation in tight spaces - because all fastener holes are reachable from one side and the seat grip holds the hanger during placement, installation is quicker and less physically demanding than with conventional two-sided hangers.
• Built for treated-wood and exterior use from the start - ZMAX galvanization is specifically suited for the corrosive conditions created by pressure-treated lumber and outdoor exposure, making this hanger appropriate where standard coatings may degrade prematurely.
• Retrofit-ready without structural compromise - the one-sided access design means the hanger can be added to existing hip rafter assemblies while still delivering the full structural benefit of a swivel-seat bearing connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What roof pitch range does the Simpson LSSJ26RZ accommodate?

The LSSJ26RZ is field adjustable to accommodate all typical rafter slopes ranging from 0:12 to 12:12, making it versatile for a wide variety of roof framing applications.

What skew adjustment range does this hanger provide, and how does it ship?

The LSSJ26RZ header flange allows for easy skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg.. It ships pre-bent at 45 deg. so it is ready to place for most typical applications without additional field modification.

Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the LSSJ26RZ well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where standard galvanized connectors may be more susceptible to corrosion over time.

Can the Simpson LSSJ26RZ be installed in existing construction as a retrofit?

Yes. The LSSJ26RZ is designed so it can be installed as a retrofit. The hanger installs from one side with all fastener holes easily accessible, simplifying installation in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.
