Answer This Question
A: Good morning Evan, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. The LUS series cannot be skewed or sloped. We do have other hangers that can be made at a skew or slope and even stock some skewed at 45 degrees and have some that are field adjustable. Depending on your application and demand loads you might be able to look at some of the following series; LRU, LSSR, LSSJ, SUR/L. Any of those can be searched on Strongtie.com. If you need more information or have additional questions, please contact the Simpson Strong-Tie Customer Service team at 800-999-5099. We look forward to hearing from you.​​

Q:Are these rated for ACQ lumber contact?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â Hot dipped galvanized or stainless steel are really best for ACQ lumber ... so this is not quite the right part for that.

Q:Can this be used with pressure treated wood?

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A:Â LUS hangers with Zmax galvanized finish are acceptable for use with preservative treated wood. The nomenclature needs to have letter Z at the end, e.g. LUS28Z. Required fasteners need to have hot-dip galvanized finish.

Q:Is there a hanger that will fit two 2x8 hangers? In other words, an actual 3" pair.

Answer This Question
A:Â Yes, those are available but maybe only available online.
by|Apr 28, 2020
A:Â Simpson Strong-Tie offers multiple hangers for a double 2x8 member; please see our website or current catalog for all options. It would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the appropriate hanger based on framing layout, demand loads, local building code, etc. If specifically looking for the LUS series, please see the LUS28-2. Thank you!

These are not the size they say they are.
So I spent a good amount of time looking for these because I have a house from the 1860s. I’m not sure if the people at Home Depot just don’t know what they’re doing but what I received was not 2 inches and basically useless.

Response from Simpson Strong-TieJul 25, 2022
Hello, this is McKenzie with Simpson Strong-Tie. The LUS26 is sized for nominally cut lumber (1.5") and is the incorrect product for Rough cut 2x lumber (actually measuring 2"). For Rough cut 2x, take a look at options such as our U26R or LU26R-18.

This 2x4 joist hanger was super easy to use, especially...
This 2x4 joist hanger was super easy to use, especially with the Simpson Strong-Tie 1-1/2 in. 1/4-Hex Drive, Strong-Drive SD Connector Screws (I opened the box to ensure they'd fit through the holes in the hanger, and they come with a 1/4 hex driver that should fit in any electric screwdriver or drill).
I inserted the 2x4 into the hanger, and screwed 1 screw in the upper right hole into place; then I squeezed the hanger against the 2x4 to ensure a snug fit, and screwed another screw into the upper left hole. Then I was able to add the other 2 screws into the plate, and then the 2 angled screws into the joist itself. Then I ensured the joist was level and repeated the process at the other end.
What could be easier?!
