The Simpson 2x9 Adjustable Truss Hanger Skewed Left ZMAX THASL29Z from Simpson Strong-Tie is a heavy-duty, field-adjustable connector designed to support trusses and beams at a precise left skew, giving framing crews the on-site flexibility they need to handle a wide range of angled connections without delays or custom configurations. Built from 16-gauge steel with a ZMAX galvanized coating, this U-shaped hanger is equally at home in standard framing applications and in environments where treated lumber or moisture exposure demands enhanced corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Field-adjustable left skew from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - shipped ready to use at 22 1/2 deg. and adjustable on-site across a wide range of angles, so installers can dial in the exact skew required without waiting on pre-configured parts.
• Height adjustability combined with full field adjustability - mirrors the THA series flexibility while adding skew capability, giving contractors a single hanger that adapts to varied framing conditions on the same job site.
• ZMAX heavy-duty galvanized coating - provides enhanced corrosion resistance that makes this connector a reliable choice for treated lumber applications and damp or moisture-prone environments, supporting long service life.
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for demanding truss and beam connections while keeping the connector practical to handle and install.
• Compatible with nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - offers installer flexibility in fastener choice, supporting code-compliant installation with fastener types already common on most job sites.
• Current replacement standard for legacy Simpson Strong-Tie hanger models - supersedes earlier versions, meaning specifiers and contractors can consolidate to a single updated connector that meets current standards across multiple previous configurations.

Why This Product

• One hanger handles a broad spectrum of skew angles - the 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. field-adjustable range means a single connector model can address multiple framing scenarios, reducing the number of SKUs a crew needs to track and carry on the job.
• ZMAX coating adds durability where standard galvanizing falls short - for projects involving treated lumber or elevated moisture exposure, the heavy-duty galvanized finish provides a meaningful layer of protection that supports the long-term integrity of the connection.
• Designed and produced by Simpson Strong-Tie - a brand with a well-established reputation in structural connectors, giving engineers, inspectors, and contractors confidence in the product's engineering basis and code applicability.
• Replaces multiple older model numbers in a single updated part - by consolidating previous hanger versions into the current THASL29Z design, Simpson Strong-Tie simplifies procurement and ensures installers are working with the current connector standard for these truss and beam support applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the skew range for the THASL29Z hanger?

The THASL29Z is shipped at a 221/2 deg. left skew and can be field-skewed anywhere from 221/2 deg. to 75 deg., giving installers significant flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of framing angles without requiring pre-ordered custom configurations.

What fastener options are compatible with this hanger?

The THASL29Z is rated for installation with either standard nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. Always use all specified fasteners as outlined in the product specifications to ensure a code-compliant and structurally sound installation.

Does the THASL29Z replace any older Simpson Strong-Tie hanger models?

Yes. The THASR/L29, 29-2, and 422 versions are replacing the former 218, 218-2, and 418 versions, making this hanger the current standard for these truss and beam support applications.

What is the ZMAX coating and why does it matter?

ZMAX is a heavy-duty galvanized coating applied to the steel connector to provide enhanced corrosion resistance. This makes the THASL29Z well-suited for use in treated lumber applications and environments where moisture exposure is a concern, helping to extend the service life of the connection.
