L-Shaped Angle

Rigid Connectors

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Rigid Connectors. You can also view product information related to the categories of: Reinforcing and Skewable Angles, Joist Framing Connectors for Cold-Formed Steel Construction

The L angle is a general utility-reinforcing connector with multiple uses. The durable design and fastening options of these load-rated skewable angles make them an ideal option compared to field-fabricated clip angles. The L angle has well-defined fastener locations, and testing ensures that the tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities.

Key Features

  • Staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility for splitting
  • Available in multiple sizes to ensure proper selection for the specific use
  • Load rated for wood and cold-formed steel applications

Material

  • 54 mil (16 ga.)

Finish

  • Galvanized (G90)

Installation

  • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
  • Nail the L angle’s wider leg into the joist to ensure table loads and allow correct nailing

    These products are available with additional corrosion protection.

    Many of these products are approved for installation with Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws.

L/LS/GA Reinforcing and Skewable Angles Load Table
  1. Connectors are required on both sides to achieve F2 loads in both directions.
  2. Fasteners: Nail dimensions in the table are listed diameter by length. SD screws are Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive SD Connector screws. For additional information, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors.
  3. Using Strong-Drive SD Connector screw (SD9112) for 0.148" x 1 1/2" and 0.148" x 3" nails will get the same load as nails.
