133 Plated Truss Connectors LTHJ Truss Hip/Jack Hangers Single piece, non-welded truss hip/jack connector. MATERIAL: 18 gauge. FINISH: Galvanized; also available in Z-MAX coating. See Corrosion Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. All multiple members must be fastened together to act as a single unit. The two 10d common nails into the jack must be driven at an angle through the side plate slot and jack, and into the carrying member; see HUS for double shear nailing details. The end of the jack cannot be more than " from the back plate to meet required nail penetration. Should be attached to a double girder truss to allow for code-required minimum nail penetration. Distribute 75% of the total load to the hip member. With single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 nails and use 0.82 of the table value. TO ORDER: Specify LTHJL for left 45 skewed hip truss and LTHJR for right 45 skewed hip truss. OPTIONS: SLOPE AND/OR SKEW Available in hip slopes up to 45 and/or skews left or right from 46 to 67 . For optional configurations, loads are 100% of table loads. To order, specify degree of slope and/or skew left or right. Example: To order an LTHJ sloped down 45 and skewed right 55 , order an LTHJXD45 R55. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Uplift loads include a 33% and 60% increase for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. Allowable loads for 10d commons also apply when 16d sinkers are used. 3. Combine hip and jack loads for total capacity. 4. Wind (133) is a download rating. 5. Truss chord cross-grain tension may limit allowable loads. Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria. 6. NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
