This is a \u003cstrong\u003eface-mount rafter hanger\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for \u003cstrong\u003econnecting solid sawn rafters to a ridge beam in sloped roof framing\u003c\/strong\u003e. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eLRU210Z\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are framing a roof where the connection angle can vary or you need a hanger that works in both new construction and retrofit conditions, this is the type of connector built for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat sets the LRU210Z apart is its field-adjustable slope. According to Simpson Strong-Tie, it can be sloped down from 0 degrees to 49 degrees and sloped up from 0 degrees to 45 degrees. In practical terms, that means you are not locked into a fixed-pitch hanger. You can adapt on site instead of waiting on a special-order connector, which helps keep a framing job moving when roof geometry changes or existing conditions are not perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe open design is a real advantage for roof work. This hanger can be installed before or after the rafter is in place, which gives you more flexibility depending on how the crew is sequencing the build. Simpson also places the face fasteners high on the hanger, which allows the bottom of the rafter to hang below the ridge beam when needed. That detail matters on real framing layouts where clearances and member alignment are not always generous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFor strength and durability, the LRU210Z is made from 18-gauge steel and finished with a ZMAX coating. That coating is intended to provide added corrosion resistance, including for exterior and treated-wood applications. If the connector is going into framing that may see moisture exposure or preservative-treated lumber, the finish is not just a spec on paper. It is one of the things that helps the connector hold up over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis specific LRU210Z size is listed for nominal joist or rafter sizes \u003cstrong\u003e2x8, 2x10, and 2x12\u003c\/strong\u003e. The seat width is \u003cstrong\u003e1-9\/16 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e, the hanger height is \u003cstrong\u003e8-3\/16 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the B dimension is \u003cstrong\u003e1-15\/16 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e. Those dimensions matter because connector fit is everything with structural hardware. A hanger that fits the intended member range gives you more flexibility across similar roof framing layouts while still keeping you inside the product's intended application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation flexibility is another reason this hanger stands out. Simpson specifies that it can be installed using nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. For standard installation, all specified fasteners must be used, and joist fasteners must be installed at an angle through the rafter or joist into the header to achieve tabulated loads. For retrofit applications where an existing roof deck blocks a horizontal install path, Simpson allows #10 x 2-1\/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws to be installed sloped upward to match the roof pitch, up to 49 degrees maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn the job, that means the LRU210Z is not just a simple bracket. It is a practical framing solution for roof framing, ridge connections, remodel work, and situations where access is limited. The ability to use approved SD Connector screws instead of relying only on nails can be a big help when you are working around existing material and tight access near the ridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis Simpson Strong-Tie connector is best suited for carpenters, framers, remodelers, and general contractors working on roof framing with solid sawn lumber. If you need a fixed hanger for a straight, repeated production setup, there may be other options. But if your job calls for adjustability, retrofit capability, and a connector built specifically for sloped rafter fastening, the LRU210Z earns its place fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for New Work and Retrofit Roof Framing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/rxqy12wzw3\/jpeg\/C_LRUZ_InstIll_Ill_Instld_FaceMountRafterHanger-AltRetrofit_CY.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie LRU210Z Face-Mount Rafter Hanger retrofit installation diagram showing SD Connector screws angled to match roof pitch under an existing roof deck at a ridge connection\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eWhen you are tying rafters into an existing roof structure, access is usually the problem.
