The Simpson THASR Galvanized Adjustable Truss Hanger for Double 2x9, Skewed Right is a U-shaped connector built by Simpson to support trusses and beams in angled framing conditions where a standard straight hanger simply will not work. Shipped at 22-1/2 deg. right, this hanger combines height adjustability with field adjustability, allowing installers to skew it anywhere from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg. on the job site - giving framing crews the range they need to handle a wide variety of roof and floor truss layouts without hunting down a specialty connector.

Key Features

• Field-adjustable skew from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - adapts to a broad range of angled framing conditions on site, eliminating the need for special orders and reducing project delays.
• Replaces the former THASR218-2 - provides a direct updated replacement, so contractors familiar with the previous model can transition without redesigning their fastening schedules.
• One acute side bend line - simplifies layout and installation by giving the installer a clear, single reference point for bending the hanger to the required skew angle.
• Joist fasteners required from one side only for skews greater than 22-1/2 deg. - speeds up installation in tight or restricted framing bays where access from both sides is impractical.
• Rated for nails or Simpson Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - gives installers the flexibility to use the fastener type that best suits their tools and project requirements without sacrificing rated performance.
• Made from 16-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating - delivers the structural strength and corrosion resistance needed for exposed or treated-lumber framing applications.
• Minimum carried member is a double 2x truss - clearly defined carrying capacity lets engineers and framers confirm compatibility with their truss layout before installation begins.

Why This Product

• Maximum on-site flexibility without extra procurement - because the hanger ships ready at 22-1/2 deg. right and adjusts all the way to 75 deg. in the field, one hanger covers a wide range of skewed truss conditions that would otherwise require sourcing multiple specialty connectors.
• Faster, simpler installation at acute angles - the single acute side bend line paired with one-sided joist fastening for skews beyond 22-1/2 deg. meaningfully reduces labor time and complexity, particularly in confined framing spaces.
• Fastener choice built in - acceptance of both 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails and No. 9 x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means crews can work with the tools already on the job site rather than sourcing specific hardware.
• A trusted, updated design from Simpson - as a direct replacement for the THASR218-2, this hanger carries forward proven performance in truss and beam support applications while incorporating the improvements that eliminate the need for the older model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What range of skew angles does the THASR29-2 support?

The THASR29-2 ships at 22-1/2 deg. right and can be field-skewed from 22-1/2 deg. to 75 deg., providing broad flexibility for a wide range of framing conditions without requiring additional special orders.

Can this hanger be installed with screws instead of nails?

Yes. The THASR29-2 is rated for installation with either (12) 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails or (12) #9 x 2-1/2 in. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SD Connector screws in the header, and (5-8) of the same fastener type in the joist.

Do joist fasteners need to be installed from both sides?

No. For skews greater than 22-1/2 deg., joist fasteners are only required from one side, simplifying installation in tight or awkward framing situations.

What is the minimum carried member for the THASR29-2?

The minimum carried member for the THASR29-2 is a double 2x truss. The hanger is constructed from 16-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized G90 coating for corrosion resistance.
