Truss Hanger 45° x 38mm Right

The Truss Hanger 45° x 38mm Right is a specialised timber connector designed to support and secure compatible timber members positioned at a 45-degree angle. Featuring a 38mm timber width and right-hand configuration, this metal hanger provides a practical connection point for angled roof and timber framing applications.

Designed for construction and carpentry projects, the hanger helps provide a neat, secure connection where conventional straight joist or truss hangers are unsuitable because of the angle between the timber members.

Why Choose This Product?

The Truss Hanger 45° x 38mm Right is specifically configured for angled timber connections. Its right-hand orientation makes it suitable for the corresponding side of compatible 45-degree timber junctions.

The preformed metal design simplifies installation while providing multiple fixing positions for securing the hanger to compatible timber components.

Purpose-Built for Angled Timber Connections

The Truss Hanger 45° x 38mm Right provides a purpose-designed solution for connecting compatible timber members where the junction occurs at approximately 45 degrees.

Unlike standard hangers intended for perpendicular connections, the preformed angled configuration accommodates the geometry of the timber joint. This can simplify installation while helping maintain correct positioning of the connected timber member.

The 38mm specification indicates compatibility with timber of the corresponding nominal width, subject to the exact dimensions and requirements of the particular installation. The right-hand orientation is important because angled hangers may be manufactured in separate left- and right-hand configurations.

Correct orientation should therefore be confirmed before installation. A right-hand hanger should not automatically be substituted for a left-hand version simply because the timber dimensions are the same.

As truss hangers can form part of a structural timber assembly, the correct connector type, fixing pattern and fasteners are essential. Suitable structural connector nails or other manufacturer-approved fasteners should be used rather than general-purpose fixings where structural performance is required.

The connector should also be installed according to the approved roof-truss design, building plans or relevant engineering specifications. The hanger itself should not be modified, bent or cut unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer.

For builders, roofing contractors and carpenters, the Truss Hanger 45° x 38mm Right provides a practical solution for compatible angled timber connections.

Installation and Maintenance

• Confirm that a right-hand 45° hanger is required before installation.
• Check compatibility with the timber dimensions and joint configuration.
• Position the hanger correctly against the supporting timber member.
• Use the specified structural fasteners in the required fixing holes.
• Do not substitute unsuitable screws or general-purpose nails.
• Do not cut, bend or modify the hanger unless approved.
• Inspect the connector for damage before installation.
• Structural installations should follow approved building or engineering specifications.
