The Simpson DBL 2x9 Adjustable Truss Hanger Skewed Left ZMAX THASL29-2Z is a heavy-duty U-shaped connector from Simpson Strong-Tie designed to support double 2x9 trusses and beams in framing applications where precise skew angles are required. Shipped at a 22 1/2 deg. left skew and field-adjustable across a wide range, this hanger gives installers the flexibility to dial in the exact angle needed on the job site without hunting down a specialty part. The ZMAX high-performance zinc coating adds durable corrosion resistance, making this connector well suited for use alongside treated lumber in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• U-shaped hanger design for double 2x9 truss and beam support - provides a secure, stable seat for the member, reducing movement and ensuring a reliable connection in the completed frame.
• Ships at 22 1/2 deg. left skew with field adjustability from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - lets installers adapt to a broad range of framing angles on the spot, eliminating the need to source multiple fixed-skew hangers for a single project.
• Compatible with nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - gives crews the option to use their preferred fastener type while staying within Simpson Strong-Tie specifications, keeping installs efficient.
• ZMAX high-performance zinc coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance specifically suited for use with today's treated lumber products, helping the connector hold up in moisture-prone or chemically active environments.
• Replaces the former 218, 218-2, and 418 series models - offers a straightforward, current-generation upgrade path for projects previously specified around older Simpson Strong-Tie hanger versions.
• Made in the United States - produced domestically, supporting consistent quality standards and reliable availability for professional framing contractors.

Why This Product

• Wide field-adjustable skew range covers most real-world framing scenarios - with a working range from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. left, a single hanger model handles the variety of angles that come up in residential and light commercial roof and floor framing, reducing the number of different parts a crew needs to manage on site.
• ZMAX coating makes this connector compatible with treated lumber - as modern pressure-treated lumber formulations have become more corrosive to standard coatings, the ZMAX finish is engineered to hold up against those chemicals, protecting the structural connection over the long term.
• Fastener flexibility keeps installation moving - acceptance of both nails and Strong-Drive SD Connector screws means crews are not locked into a single fastening method, allowing them to work with what they have on hand and within their preferred workflow.
• A trusted Simpson Strong-Tie connector for double-member truss applications - engineered by one of the most recognized names in structural connectors, the THASL29-2Z brings height adjustability and field skew capability together in a single connector built for professional framing work.
