Simpson Strong-Tie LRU light rafter U hangers are an economic alternative for applications requiring a sloped hanger for rafter-to-ridge connections. Used with solid-sawn rafters, the LRUZ’s unique design enables the hanger to be installed either before or after the rafter is in place. The field-adjustable seat helps improve job efficiency by eliminating mismatched angles in the field and lead times associated with special orders. The LRUZ offers comparable or better load capacity to other rafter hangers at a reduced cost while using fewer fasteners.The Strong-Tie LRU28Z reinforcing angle features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

• The open design and ability to field-adjust the slope makes the LRUZ ideal for both retrofit or new applications
• Accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 14:12
• Slopes up or down to 45° (12:12). For slopes greater than 45° up to 49° (14:12), allowable loads are 0.85 of table loads
• 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 Connector screws

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Joist fasteners must be installed at an angle through the rafter or joist into the header to achieve the table loads.

NOTE: The correct fasteners installed in the correct position must be used to achieve published load values
