The Simpson THA218 Adjustable Hanger for 2x Truss is a galvanized steel joist hanger from Simpson engineered to deliver reliable support underneath trusses by creating a strong, stable connection. Its extra-long straps can be field-formed on-site, giving installers precise height adjustability without requiring pre-cut or pre-set configurations. Whether the job calls for a top-flange or face-mount installation, this versatile truss hanger adapts to the demands of the project - making it a practical solution for framing applications where truss placement must be determined in the field.

Key Features

• Dual installation method (top-flange or face-mount) - gives installers the flexibility to choose the mounting approach that best suits the structural conditions on site, reducing the need for multiple different hangers.
• Extra-long straps that can be field-formed - allows the hanger height to be adjusted during installation, so the exact vertical position of the truss can be set in the field rather than pre-determined before the job starts.
• 18-gauge steel construction - provides a sturdy, rigid support structure suited to the demands of truss framing connections.
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, making this hanger a dependable choice for installations where moisture exposure is a concern.
• Seat width of 1-5/8 in. and height of 17-3/16 in. - dimensioned specifically for 2x truss members, ensuring a proper fit and a secure, load-bearing connection.

Why This Product

• Field-adjustable height saves time and reduces rework - because the straps can be formed on-site, installers can fine-tune the truss position during the build rather than being locked into a fixed height, which is especially valuable when exact placement is unclear until framing is underway.
• One hanger, two installation options - the ability to use the THA218 as either a top-flange or face-mount hanger means it can serve different structural situations without requiring a separate product, simplifying procurement and keeping the job moving.
• Corrosion-resistant G90 galvanized coating for lasting performance - the zinc galvanized finish helps protect against rust and degradation in moisture-prone environments, supporting the long-term integrity of the truss connection.
• Designed and made by Simpson - a brand recognized for its broad line of structural connectors, the THA218 is part of a tested system of hangers built to handle demanding framing applications.
