Product Description
The Simpson LSSR28Z LSSR Light Field-Adjustable Rafter Hanger is a patent-pending, next-generation connector engineered for 2x8 rafter framing. Built from 18-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized finish, it is designed for the demands of exterior and treated-wood applications where corrosion resistance is critical. What truly sets this hanger apart is its dual field-adjustability - it accommodates skew from 0 deg. to 45 deg. and slope up to 45 deg. - and its ability to be installed after rafters have already been tacked into place, removing a common sequencing constraint from the framing process.
Key Features
- Post-installation capability - the hanger can be installed after all rafters are already tacked in place, giving framing crews greater flexibility and reducing the need to plan connector placement before setting members
- Flange design for skew adjustment from 0 deg. to 45 deg. - accommodates angled rafter connections in the field without requiring custom fabrication or multiple hanger SKUs
- Innovative hinged swivel seat adjusts for slope up to 45 deg. - supports the rafter securely while conforming to pitched roof geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of roof designs
- 18-gauge steel construction - provides reliable structural integrity for rafter connections in residential and light commercial framing applications
- ZMAX galvanization - delivers extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior environments and contact with pressure-treated lumber, extending the service life of the connection
Why This Product
- Installs after rafters are set - unlike traditional rafter hangers that must be positioned before framing members are placed, this hanger's design allows it to be added after the rafters are tacked in, saving time and reducing sequencing errors on the job site
- True dual adjustability in a single hanger - the combination of a 45 deg. skew range and a 45 deg. slope swivel seat means one connector handles a broad spectrum of angled rafter connections, reducing the need to stock multiple specialized hangers
- Built for treated-wood and exterior applications - ZMAX galvanized coating is specifically engineered to hold up against the corrosive conditions common in outdoor framing and when connecting to pressure-treated lumber, making it a dependable long-term choice
- Precise fastener guidance included - Simpson specifies exact nail sizes for both the face and the joist seat, taking the guesswork out of proper installation and helping ensure the connection performs as intended

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can this rafter hanger be installed after the rafters are already tacked in place?
- Yes. One of the key features of the LSSR28Z is that it makes it possible to install after the rafters are already in place, which saves time and simplifies the framing process compared to traditional hangers that must be installed before the rafter is set.
- How much skew and slope adjustment does the LSSR28Z support?
- The LSSR28Z is field adjustable for skew from 0 deg. to 45 deg. using its flange design. It also features an innovative hinged swivel seat that adjusts for up to a 45 deg. slope, making it highly versatile for angled rafter connections.
- Is this hanger suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?
- Yes. The LSSR28Z features ZMAX galvanization, which offers extra corrosion resistance specifically designed for exterior and treated-wood applications.
- What fasteners should be used to install the LSSR28Z?
- Install with 0.148 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails in the face and 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist for proper installation performance.
