Product Description
The Simpson L50Z 5 in. 16-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Reinforcing L Angle by Simpson Strong-Tie is a general utility-reinforcing connector designed for multiple structural applications. With a durable 16-gauge steel construction and ZMAX galvanized coating, this load-rated angle provides a reliable, field-proven alternative to fabricated clip angles - with well-defined fastener locations and tested load values that account for connection eccentricities.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are recommended for installing the Simpson L50Z?
- Install with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws. When using galvanized connector products, hot-dip galvanized (HDG) nails are recommended.
- What is ZMAX galvanization and why does it matter?
- ZMAX galvanization is an enhanced zinc coating that offers extra corrosion resistance, making the L50Z well-suited for exterior and treated-wood applications where standard galvanized connectors may be insufficient.
- Is the Simpson L50Z rated for both wood and steel applications?
- Yes. The L50Z is load rated for both wood and cold-formed steel applications. The tabulated load values are established through testing and account for connection eccentricities, making it a dependable alternative to field-fabricated clip angles.
- Why does the L50Z feature a staggered nail pattern?
- The staggered nail pattern is specifically designed to reduce the possibility of wood splitting during installation, helping to maintain the structural integrity of the connected members.
