The Simpson 2 X 9 ADJ TRUSS HANGER SKEW RIGHT ZMAX is a field-adjustable truss and beam connector engineered for framing situations where a standard square hanger simply will not work. Designed by Simpson for right-skewed applications, this hanger ships at a 22 1/2 deg. right skew and can be field-adjusted across a wide range of angles, giving installers the flexibility to handle complex roof and floor framing conditions on the spot without waiting on factory-preset hardware.

Key Features

• Ships at 22 1/2 deg. right skew with field adjustability from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. - covers a broad spectrum of skewed framing angles on a single connector, eliminating the need to source angle-specific hangers for every job condition.
• Combines height adjustability with field skew adjustability - gives installers the ability to dial in both the vertical position and the lateral angle at the job site, reducing layout errors and saving time during installation.
• One-sided joist fastening when skewed beyond 22 1/2 deg. - simplifies the nailing process in tight or obstructed framing situations, speeding up installation without sacrificing structural integrity.
• Compatible with nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - supports the fastener type already on hand, adding flexibility to the installation workflow without requiring specialty hardware.
• ZMAX coating - provides a higher level of corrosion resistance than standard G90 galvanized products, making this hanger well suited for use with treated lumber and in moisture-exposed environments where long-term durability matters.
• Domestically produced by Simpson - backed by a trusted name in structural connectors, with consistent manufacturing quality built into every connector.

Why This Product

• One hanger handles a wide range of skew angles - because the THASR29Z adjusts from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg. in the field, a single connector model can address multiple framing scenarios on the same project, reducing the number of part numbers a contractor needs to manage.
• Purpose-built for skewed truss and beam connections - the right-skew design paired with height adjustability makes this connector a practical solution for hip roofs, angled floor systems, and other framing layouts where off-angle bearing conditions are the norm rather than the exception.
• ZMAX coating extends service life in demanding conditions - the heavy galvanized coating is specifically suited for treated lumber applications and humid or moisture-exposed job sites, helping the connection maintain its integrity over the long term.
• Simplified on-site installation - field adjustability at both the skew and height reduces dependence on precise pre-planning, and the one-sided fastening requirement at greater skew angles means fewer access problems during the nailing stage of framing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What range of skew angles can the THASR29Z be adjusted to in the field?

The THASR29Z is shipped at a 22 1/2 deg. right skew and can be field-skewed anywhere from 22 1/2 deg. to 75 deg., giving installers a wide range of angle options without requiring factory-preset configurations.

What type of fasteners are approved for use with this hanger?

This hanger is rated for installation with either nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. Use all specified fasteners as outlined in the installation specifications.

From how many sides do joist fasteners need to be installed when skewing beyond 22 1/2 deg.?

When the hanger is field-skewed to angles greater than 22 1/2 deg., joist fasteners are required from only one side, simplifying the installation process.

What is the ZMAX coating and why does it matter?

ZMAX is a thick, hot-dip galvanized coating applied to the connector that provides a higher level of corrosion resistance compared to standard G90 galvanized products, making it well suited for treated lumber and moisture-exposed applications.
