The Simpson THJU26-W Galvanized Truss Hip/Jack Hanger is a professional-grade structural connector from Simpson engineered to simplify hip rafter and jack truss framing without compromising load-handling performance. Its U-shaped design handles both right- and left-hand hip configurations across a wide range of skew angles, supporting single-ply and 2-ply hip/jack combinations so framing crews can tackle complex roof geometry with a single, versatile connector. Built from 12-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this truss hanger is manufactured to the quality standards that engineers specify and contractors rely on across residential and commercial framing projects.

Key Features

• U-shaped design works for right- and left-hand hips across a wide skew range - one hanger handles both orientations and accommodates hip skews up to 67 1/2 deg., reducing the number of different connectors a framing crew needs to stock.
• Supports single-ply and 2-ply hip/jack combinations - the wide 8 1/8 in. seat accommodates a 2-ply hip and 2-ply jack combination (up to 45 deg. hip skew) or a standard single-ply configuration (up to 67 1/2 deg. hip skew), giving builders flexibility for varied structural requirements.
• Installs before or after the hip and jack members are in place - this staging flexibility lets crews adapt to job-site conditions and sequencing without being locked into a single installation order.
• Manufactured from 12-gauge steel - heavy-gauge construction delivers the structural strength required for load-bearing truss connections in residential and light-commercial roof framing.
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides enhanced corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in moisture-exposed framing environments over the long term.
• Engineer trusted and contractor proven - Simpson connectors are engineered and tested to perform, giving builders confidence that the product meets the demands of code-compliant construction.
• Installed with 10d common nails - uses a widely available, standard fastener so crews are not required to source specialty hardware to complete the installation.

Why This Product

• Unmatched installation flexibility for hip roof framing - the ability to install the hanger before or after the hip and jack, combined with compatibility across both hand orientations and a broad skew range, makes this connector one of the most adaptable options available for complex truss roof layouts.
• One connector covers multiple framing configurations - by accommodating single-ply and 2-ply hip/jack combinations as well as skew angles up to 67 1/2 deg., this hanger reduces the need for multiple connector SKUs on a single project, simplifying purchasing and on-site inventory.
• Corrosion-resistant steel construction built for the long haul - the 12-gauge steel body paired with a G90 zinc galvanized finish means the connector is designed to maintain its structural integrity in the demanding conditions typical of roof framing applications.
• Backed by Simpson engineering and testing standards - Simpson connectors are manufactured to rigorous quality standards and are the choice of engineers and contractors on projects where structural reliability and code compliance are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hip skew angles can the THJU26-W accommodate?

The THJU26-W accommodates a 2-ply hip and 2-ply jack combination with a 45 deg. maximum hip skew, or a standard single-ply hip/jack configuration with a maximum 67-1/2 deg. hip skew.

Can this hanger be used for both right- and left-hand hip configurations?

Yes. The U-shaped design of the THJU26-W works for both right- and left-hand hips, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of truss framing applications.

Does the hanger need to be installed before the hip and jack members are in place?

No. The THJU26-W can be installed either before or after the hip and jack, offering added flexibility during the construction process.

What fasteners are required to install the THJU26-W?

The THJU26-W should be installed with 10d common nails as specified by Simpson Strong-Tie for proper structural performance.
