Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of fasteners should be used with the Simpson ML28Z?
- The ML28Z is designed to be installed with 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws from Simpson Strong-Tie. Note that fasteners are not provided with the angle and must be sourced separately.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this angle bracket?
- ZMAX galvanization provides extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making the ML28Z well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where exposure to moisture and chemicals can accelerate corrosion of standard steel connectors.
- Can two ML28Z angle brackets be installed back to back?
- Yes. The ML28Z features an opposing hole pattern specifically designed to allow back-to-back installation without fastener interference, making it easy to create double-angle connections where added strength is required.
- How does the ML28Z compare to angled nailing or standard screw fastening?
- The ML28Z provides a stronger connection than angled nailing or screw fastening alone. Its 12-gauge steel construction and 90 deg. bracket design help ensure joints are consistently straight and structurally sound, making it ideal for medium and heavy-duty framing applications.
