Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie HL79GPC is a heavy-duty, L-shaped ornamental angle with gusset, engineered for right-angle wood connections where both strength and appearance matter. Part of Simpson Strong-Tie's Classic Collection, the HL79GPC features modern smooth edges and clean lines, making it equally at home in exposed architectural applications as in structural utility roles. Its durable black powder-coat finish delivers a polished, consistent look that suits visible installations, while its robust 3-gauge steel construction provides the load capacity required for demanding connections. Whether reinforcing timber framing, pergolas, decorative structures, or heavy wood assemblies, this connector delivers performance and aesthetics in a single component.
Key Features
- Classic Collection Design: Modern smooth edges and clean lines make this connector suitable for projects where hardware is visible
- Black Powder-Coat Finish: Provides a refined, consistent appearance while offering surface protection
- Heavy 3-Gauge Steel Construction: Delivers substantial load-carrying capacity for demanding right-angle connections
- L-Shaped Profile with Gusset: The integrated gusset reinforces the 90 deg. corner, adding rigidity and resistance to racking forces
- Reinforces Wood Members in Right-Angle Connections: Ideal wherever two structural members meet at a 90 deg. angle
- Resists Uplift and Lateral Forces: Engineered to counter the forces that commonly stress right-angle joints
- Achieves Lateral Loads in Both Directions: When installed in pairs, provides balanced lateral load resistance
- Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the gauge of the HL79GPC angle?
- The HL79GPC is constructed from 3-gauge steel, making it a heavy-duty connector suitable for demanding structural and ornamental applications.
- What type of finish does the HL79GPC have?
- The HL79GPC features a black powder-coat finish. This finish provides both a clean, modern aesthetic and surface protection, making it well suited for visible installations.
- Can lag screws be used instead of bolts when installing the HL79GPC?
- Yes. Lag screws of equal diameter to the specified 3/4 in. bolts, and a minimum of 5 in. long, may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load.
- How does the HL79GPC achieve lateral load resistance in both directions?
- The HL79GPC achieves lateral loads in both directions when installed in pairs. Using two connectors at a joint provides balanced resistance against lateral forces acting from either direction.
