It may be fieldsloped to 45 . (LSU4.12 and LSU3510-2 similar) Hanger shown skewed right Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory. LSSU INSTALLATION SEQUENCE STEP 1 Nail hanger to slope-cut carried member, installing seat nail first. No bevel necessary for skewed installation. STEP 2 Skew flange to form acute angle. Bend other flange back along centerline of slots. Bend one time only. STEP 3 Attach hanger to the carrying member, acute angle side first. Install nails at an angle. This series attach joists or rafters to headers, sloped up or down, and skewed left or right, up to 45 . MATERIAL: See table FINISH: Galvanized INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Attach the sloped joist at both ends so that the horizontal force developed by the slope is fully supported by the supporting members. Web stiffeners required for I-joist applications. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
