The Simpson LSSJ210RZ Light Adjustable Jack Hanger is a right-side, face-mount connector engineered by Simpson for joining jack rafters to hip members in sloped roof framing. Its hinged swivel seat adjusts in the field to accommodate all typical rafter slopes from 0:12 to 12:12, and the header flange allows skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg. - arriving pre-bent at 45 deg. so it is ready for most typical applications straight out of the box. Built from 18-gauge steel with ZMAX galvanization, this hanger is well suited for exterior framing and treated-wood applications where lasting corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• One-sided installation with fully accessible fastener holes - all nailing points are reachable from a single side, reducing awkward positioning and speeding up the fastening process on the job site.
• Retrofit-compatible design - can be added to an existing structure without the need to disassemble surrounding framing, saving time and labor on repair or upgrade projects.
• Seat grip for quick hanger placement - the built-in seat grip holds the hanger in position during installation, reducing the need for a second set of hands and keeping the workflow moving.
• Field-adjustable hinged swivel seat for slopes from 0:12 to 12:12 - covers the full range of typical residential and light commercial roof pitches without requiring multiple hanger sizes or special-order configurations.
• Swivel seat provides structural support beyond fasteners alone - the seat bears load directly against the joist, enabling a higher load capacity than a fastener-only connection would allow.
• 18-gauge steel construction - delivers a balance of strength and workability appropriate for light jack rafter and hip framing connections.
• ZMAX galvanization - provides extra corrosion resistance for exterior applications and use with treated lumber, where standard coatings are more susceptible to premature breakdown.
• Ships pre-bent at 45 deg. - arrives ready to place for the most common skewed rafter applications, minimizing field adjustment time on typical projects.

Why This Product

• One hanger handles a wide range of roof geometries - with slope adjustment from 0:12 to 12:12 and skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg., a single hanger model covers the majority of jack rafter-to-hip connections a framer is likely to encounter, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types.
• Faster installs with less effort - the one-sided connection point, seat grip, and pre-bent 45 deg. angle mean framers spend less time positioning and adjusting, making this hanger a practical choice for both new construction and retrofit framing work.
• Built for treated-wood and exterior environments - the ZMAX galvanized finish is specifically suited to the corrosive conditions created by pressure-treated lumber and outdoor exposure, helping the connection maintain its integrity over the long term.
• Stronger connection than fasteners alone - the swivel seat transfers load mechanically to the joist rather than relying entirely on nails, resulting in a higher-capacity connection that adds confidence in structural performance on sloped roof systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What slope range does the LSSJ210RZ accommodate?

The LSSJ210RZ features a hinged swivel seat that is field adjustable to accommodate all typical rafter slopes ranging from 0:12 to 12:12, making it suitable for the vast majority of residential and light commercial roofing applications.

What is the maximum skew angle this hanger can be adjusted to in the field?

The header flange on the LSSJ210RZ 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 without any additional adjustment required.

Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this hanger?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance, making the LSSJ210RZ well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where standard coatings may be susceptible to accelerated corrosion over time.

Can the LSSJ210RZ be installed in an existing structure as a retrofit?

Yes. The LSSJ210RZ is designed for retrofit installation. The one-sided connection point keeps all fastener holes easily accessible, simplifying installation in tight or already-framed spaces where access from multiple sides may not be possible.
