The LS connector is a cost-effective method for connecting roof rafters to hip rafters. The durable design and fastening options of these load-rated skewable angles make them an ideal option compared to field-fabricated clip angles. The LS has well-defined fastener locations, and testing ensures that the tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities.

Key Features

• The connectors are general utility-reinforcing angles with multiple uses
• Field-adjustable angles from 0 to 135 allow for attaching members intersecting at angles
• Perfect angle series for many household repairs and DIY projects

Installation

• Install with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws
• Field skewable; bend one time only
• Joist must be constrained against rotation (for example, with solid blocking) when using a single LS per connection
