The new Simpson Strong-Tie LSSR rafter hangers are a new style of field adjustable hangers. The unique hinged seat on the LSSR1.81Z allows up to 45 degree slope adjustments upwards and downwards in the field. One of the main features of the LSSR hangers is that they can be isntalled after the rafters have already been tacked into place.
