The Simpson THASL Galvanized Adjustable Truss Hanger for 2x9, Skewed Left by Simpson is a heavy-duty, U-shaped connector engineered to support trusses and beams in skewed framing applications. Shipped at 22-1/2 deg. left and field-adjustable from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg., this 16-gauge steel hanger combines height adjustability with on-site skew flexibility, giving installers the freedom to handle a wide range of complex framing conditions without sourcing custom hardware.

Key Features

• Field-adjustable skew from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - Adapts on the jobsite to a wide range of truss angles, reducing delays and the need for custom-ordered connectors.
• Replaces the former THASL218 - A direct, updated substitute that allows contractors to transition without redesigning connections or re-sourcing parts.
• One acute side bend line - Simplifies layout and installation by giving the installer a clear reference point, reducing guesswork and potential placement errors.
• Joist fasteners required from one side only for skews greater than 22-1/2 deg. - Saves time and makes installation more practical in tight or obstructed framing conditions.
• Rated for nails or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - Gives installers the flexibility to use the fastener type that best suits their tools and workflow on site.
• Made from 16-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - Provides the structural strength and corrosion resistance needed for demanding framing environments.
• Minimum carried member of 2x truss - Confirms compatibility with standard truss framing, so installers can specify this hanger with confidence for typical residential and light commercial applications.

Why This Product

• Eliminates the hassle of custom hardware - The broad field-adjustable skew range means one hanger handles a variety of non-standard truss angles, keeping the job moving without waiting on specialty parts.
• Installer-friendly design from start to finish - The single acute side bend line and one-sided joist fastening requirement for skews beyond 22-1/2 deg. reduce both installation time and the physical challenges of working in confined framing spaces.
• Fastener flexibility built in - Acceptance of both nails and Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means crews can work with whatever fastening method they already have on hand, without compromising the rated connection.
• Trusted construction-grade quality - Built in the United States from 16-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized, G90 finish, this hanger is designed to meet the durability demands of structural truss and beam support applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skew range does the THASL29 support?

The THASL29 is shipped at 22-1/2 deg. left and can be field-skewed from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg., giving installers a wide range of on-site adjustability without requiring special orders.

Can the THASL29 be installed with screws instead of nails?

Yes. The THASL29 is rated for installation with either nails or Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. For nail installation, use (12) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails in the header and (4-7) 0.148 in. x 1-1/2 in. nails in the joist. For screw installation, use (12) #9 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws in the header and (4-7) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws in the joist.

What product does the THASL29 replace?

The THASL29 replaces the former THASL218, offering updated design features including one acute side bend line to ease design and installation.

Are fasteners required on both sides of the joist for all skew angles?

No. For skews greater than 22-1/2 deg., joist fasteners are only required from one side, simplifying the installation process on angled framing applications.
