The Simpson DBL 2x9 Adjustable Truss Hanger Skewed Right ZMAX THASR29-2Z is a professional-grade structural connector from Simpson engineered to support trusses and beams in demanding framing applications. Its U-shaped design combines height adjustability with field-skew adjustability, giving installers the on-site flexibility needed to handle a wide range of skewed truss and beam configurations without requiring pre-configured hangers.

Key Features

• Field-adjustable right skew from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - covers a broad range of skewed installations on the job site, reducing downtime and the need to source multiple hanger configurations.
• Ships preset at a 22 1/2 deg. right skew - arrives ready for the most common skewed truss applications, so installers can get to work faster without additional setup for standard conditions.
• U-shaped hanger with combined height and field adjustability - accommodates variations in both truss height and angle in a single connector, simplifying inventory and reducing the number of different hangers a crew needs on site.
• ZMAX coating - provides a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making this hanger well-suited for use with treated lumber and in corrosive environments where long-term performance is critical.
• Compatible with standard nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - gives installers fastener flexibility to match the tools and materials already on site, and for skews greater than 22 1/2 deg., joist fasteners are only required from one side, speeding up installation.
• Replaces former 218, 218-2, and 418 series hangers - serves as a direct updated replacement offering improved performance and compatibility, making it easy to transition existing projects or standardize a modern connector across a crew.

Why This Product

• One hanger handles a wide range of skewed truss applications - the field-adjustable skew range of 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. means a single connector type can address multiple framing scenarios, reducing the need to stock several specialized hangers for different conditions.
• Built for corrosive and treated-lumber environments - the ZMAX coating delivers elevated corrosion resistance beyond standard galvanized finishes, making this connector a reliable long-term choice in applications where material degradation is a real concern.
• Designed for efficient installation - the preset skew angle and single-side fastening requirement for greater skews reduce labor time in the field, which is a practical advantage on projects where schedule and crew efficiency matter.
• Domestic engineering and material replacement compatibility - made in the United States and designed as an updated replacement for earlier hanger series, this connector supports continuity on projects that previously used older configurations while delivering current performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the field-skew range for the THASR29-2Z?

The THASR29-2Z ships at a 22 1/2 deg. right skew and can be field-skewed from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg., giving installers significant on-site flexibility without requiring pre-configured special orders.

What type of fasteners can be used with this hanger?

This hanger is rated for installation with either standard nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. For skews greater than 22 1/2 deg., joist fasteners are only required from one side. Always use all specified fasteners per the installation specifications.

What is the ZMAX coating and why does it matter?

ZMAX is a proprietary Simpson Strong-Tie coating that provides a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making the THASR29-2Z well-suited for use in treated lumber and other corrosive environments.

What models does the THASR29-2Z replace?

The THASR/L29, 29-2, and 422 series are replacing the former 218, 218-2, and 418 versions, offering updated performance and compatibility for modern truss and beam support applications.
