Product Overview
RU34Z Retrofit U Hanger
The RUZ Retrofit U Hanger is designed specifically to fit around existing Simpson panelized roof hangers such as the F or HFN series.
Also see the NRUZ series of retrofit hangers, which are designed specifically for use on nailers on steel trusses.
In some cases, existing panelized roof hangers may need replacement due to excessive gapping, damage incurred during field erection or corrosion from roof leaks or condensation. The RUZ allows you to quickly and effectively match the capacity of these hangers without having to remove the original connectors or disassemble the roof.
When installed with no more than a 1/8" gap between the original hanger and the purlin, the RUZ series provides equal or greater capacity than Simpson's F, HF and HFN series hangers. See load table for data on gaps greater than 1/8".
Material:
16 gauge
Finish:
ZMAX
Installation:
Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Tightly install RUZ hanger around existing panelized roof hanger.
Install fasteners as referenced in load tables.
If retrofitting corroded hangers, the cause of moisture intrusion into the roof system must be determined and resolved before the hangers are installed.
