Simpson Strong-Tie LRU Raft Hanger
The LRU hanger is an economical field slopeable hanger designed to make the rafter-to-ridge connection with solid-sawn rafters 2x6 – 2x12 in size.
Features:
- The open design and ability to field-adjust the slope makes the LRU ideal for both retrofit or new applications
- Accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 14:12
- For added versatility the fasteners are placed higher on the hanger allowing the bottom of the rafter to hang below the ridge beam (see "Max. C1" dimension in table)
- Can be installed using nails or Strong-Drive® SD structural-connector screws
Material: 18 gauge
Finish: Galvanized (G90); see Corrosion Information.
Installation:
- See General Notes.
- Joist fasteners must be installed at an angle through the rafter or joist into the header to achieve the table loads. See Double Shear Nailing illustration.
- See alternate installation for retrofit applications.
