Simpson Strong Tie LSCZ Adjustable Stair Stringer Connector

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LSCZ is an adjustable stair stringer connector with Zmax corrosion-resistant coating, designed to anchor stair stringers securely to framing at varying heights and angles. It is used in wood-framed stair construction for both new builds and renovation work. The adjustable design eliminates the need for multiple fixed-angle hardware options, reducing material overhead on the job site. Licensed contractors and experienced framers typically install this connector as part of code-compliant stair assemblies. The Zmax coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for treated lumber applications.

The LSCZ is used in residential and light commercial framing projects wherever wood stair stringers must be connected to a header, rim joist, or floor platform. Its adjustability accommodates a range of common stair pitches and rise-run configurations without requiring field modification of the connector itself. This makes it a practical choice for framing crews working on decks, interior stairways, and porch structures where stringer angles vary between projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed framing contractors or carpenters in accordance with local building codes and the IRC stair framing provisions. Power down any adjacent electrical circuits and ensure the framing area is clear and structurally supported before fastening. Use only the fastener type and quantity specified on the connector label or in the Simpson Strong Tie installation instructions included with the product. Do not substitute fastener sizes or omit required nail holes, as this affects the rated load capacity of the connection.
