The Simpson LSSR Light Field-Adjustable Rafter Hanger is a patent-pending, next-generation slopeable and skewable rafter hanger engineered for 2-5/16 in. engineered wood members. One of its most practical advantages is that it can be installed after all of the rafters have been tacked into place, giving framing crews the flexibility to hang connections without interrupting their workflow. The hanger adjusts for skew from 0 deg. to 45 deg. via its flange design, and an innovative hinged swivel seat accommodates slopes up to 45 deg., making it equally capable on straightforward and complex roof geometries. ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance, keeping this rafter connector reliable in exterior and treated-wood applications.

Key Features

• Post-installation capability - the hanger is specifically designed to be installed after rafters are already tacked in place, so framing sequences are not dictated by connector placement
• Flange design for skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg. - allows field crews to dial in the correct angle on site without cutting or fabricating custom hardware
• Innovative hinged swivel seat adjustable up to 45 deg. slope - the seat pivots to match the rafter pitch and actively supports the joist, eliminating guesswork on angled roof framing
• 18-gauge steel construction - delivers structural integrity in a light hanger profile suited for engineered wood rafter applications
• ZMAX galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance for exterior conditions and compatibility with treated lumber, extending the service life of the connection

Why This Product

• Truly field-adjustable in two directions - with skew adjustment up to 45 deg. and slope adjustment up to 45 deg., this hanger handles a wide range of roof framing conditions that would otherwise require multiple different connectors or custom fabrication
• Designed around real job-site sequencing - because it installs after rafters are already tacked in, crews can frame first and hang connectors without backtracking, reducing delays and coordination headaches on the roof
• Built for exposed and chemically treated environments - the ZMAX coating is specifically chosen for exterior and treated-wood applications, making this hanger a dependable choice where standard galvanization may fall short
• Engineered for 2-5/16 in. engineered wood members - the precise fit for engineered lumber means contractors working with LVL or similar products get a connector sized for the actual member rather than relying on workarounds with standard-width hangers
