82 This product is preferable to similar connectors because of a) easier installation, b) higher loads, c) lower installed cost, or a combination of these features. Solid Sawn Connectors LSU/LSSU Adjustable Light Slopeable/Skewable U Hangers 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. Some products available in Z-MAX; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. 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. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. 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.

Refer to Technical Bulletins T-ANSITPISPF, T-ANSITPISP and T-ANSITPIDF for allowable loads that consider ANSI/TPI 1-2002 wood member design criteria. 4.NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long, 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 0.148" dia. x 1 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
