LTHJ Truss Hip/Jack Hangers

Installation

View step-by-step installation instructions

Single piece, non-welded truss hip/jack connector with a standard hip skew of 45-degrees left or right. See also THJA26, LTHJA26, and THJU26 for hip/jack hangers that accommodate both right and left hand hips and can be installed after the hip and jack.

LTHJ Discontinued in 2010

The LTHJ will be phased out beginning in 2010. Simpson Strong-Tie recommends substituting THJA for this item. Click here for information on the THJA.

Material: 18 gauge.

Finish: Galvanized; also available in ZMAX® coating . See Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
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 1/8" from the back plate to meet required nail penetration.
Shall be attached to a minimum 2-ply girder truss to allow for required minimum nail penetration. See footnote 5.

To Order: Specify LTHJL for left 45° skewed hip truss and LTHJR for right 45° skewed hip truss.

Options: Available in hip slopes up to 45° and/or skews left or right from 46° to 67°. See Hanger Options.

Tabulated hip and jack allowable loads assume that 75% of the total load is distributed to the hip and 25% to the jack. It is permitted to distribute 65% to 85% of the tabulated total load to the hip, and the remaining percentage of total load to the jack. The combined hip and jack load may not exceed the published Total Load.
Uplift loads include a 60% increase for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
Wind (160) is a download rating.
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 1-2007 wood member design criteria.
Loads are based on a minimum 2-ply 2x carrying member. For single 2x carrying members, use 10dx1 1/2" nails and use 0.82 of the table value
NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
