Roof Rafter Tie: A Game-Changer in Roof Framing

When it comes to roof framing, one of the most critical components is the rafter tie. The Simpson Strong-Tie LSSR Slopeable & Skewable Rafter Hanger has revolutionized the way we approach this crucial aspect of construction. This innovative product offers unmatched quality and versatility, making it an essential tool for any roofer or builder.

The LSSR Slopeable & Skewable Rafter Hanger is designed to provide support underneath joists, rafters, or beams, while also allowing for easy installation and high loads. Its unique flange design enables skew adjustment from 0° to 45°, making it possible to install after the rafters are already in place.

One of the key benefits of this product is its ability to adjust for skew up to 45° and feature an innovative hinged swivel seat that adjusts for up to a 45° slope on site. This eliminates the need for pre-skewed/sloped or custom-order hangers, saving time and money.

The LSSR Slopeable & Skewable Rafter Hanger is manufactured to meet the industry's highest standards, backed by Simpson Strong-Tie's commitment to customer service and laboratory and field testing. With nearly 60 years of experience in research and development, this product has been designed to withstand the toughest conditions.

When using the LSSR Slopeable & Skewable Rafter Hanger, it is essential to follow specific guidelines. For instance, on the acute side of the skewed LSSR hangers, fill obround holes only. Timber species for joint design should be seasoned Radiata Pine, which meets Australian Joint Group JD4 per AS 1720.1 Table H2.4.

Additionally, reduce duration of load factor where applicable and use the correct capacity factor (φ) of 0.85 for nails and screws in structural joints with a Category 1 application.

In conclusion, the Simpson Strong-Tie LSSR Slopeable & Skewable Rafter Hanger is an exceptional product that has transformed the way we approach roof framing. Its innovative design, high-quality construction, and versatility make it an essential tool for any roofer or builder. Whether you're working on a small or large-scale project, this product is sure to deliver outstanding results.
