The Simpson L90 9 in. 16-Gauge Galvanized Reinforcing L Angle is a general utility-reinforcing connector built for a wide range of structural framing and reinforcement applications. Engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie, this load-rated angle delivers a durable, consistent alternative to field-fabricated clip angles, with well-defined fastener locations and tested load values that account for connection eccentricities - giving contractors and builders reliable, predictable performance on every job.

Key Features

• Staggered nail pattern - reduces the possibility of splitting during installation, helping protect the integrity of the connected members
• Available in multiple sizes - allows you to select the right angle for your specific application rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all solution
• Load rated for wood and cold-formed steel applications - provides confidence in structural connections across a variety of common framing and reinforcement scenarios
• 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed for dependable load transfer in utility reinforcing connections
• Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating - provides corrosion resistance to help the connector hold up in moisture-prone environments over the long term

Why This Product

• Tested performance you can count on - unlike field-fabricated clip angles, the L90 has been tested to ensure tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities, removing guesswork from critical structural connections
• Versatile across materials - load-rated for both wood and cold-formed steel applications, this reinforcing angle adapts to multiple project types without requiring a different connector for each material
• Installer-friendly design - well-defined fastener locations paired with a staggered nail pattern make for faster, more accurate installation while reducing the risk of splitting the connected material
• Built-in corrosion protection - the G90 galvanized finish means this connector is ready for real-world conditions where moisture exposure could compromise a lesser fitting over time

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are recommended for installing the L90 Reinforcing L Angle?

The L90 installs with (10) 0.148 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails or (8) #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD Connector screws (Models: N10DHDG, SD9112).

What materials is the L90 load rated for?

The L90 is load rated for both wood and cold-formed steel applications, making it a versatile reinforcing connector for a variety of structural uses.

What corrosion protection does the L90 have?

The L90 features a Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating that provides reliable corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern.

Why is the L90 preferable to a field-fabricated clip angle?

The L90 features well-defined fastener locations and has been tested to ensure that tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities, offering more consistent and reliable performance than field-fabricated clip angles. Its staggered nail pattern also reduces the possibility for splitting.
