The Simpson ML23PC Outdoor Accents Medium L Angle is a 12-gauge steel structural connector engineered to deliver reliable 90 deg. connections in medium- and heavy-duty framing applications. Built with a ZMAX galvanized finish topped by a black powder-coat, this L angle is purpose-built for exposed joints where corrosion resistance and a clean, finished appearance both matter. Staggered fastener holes reduce the risk of wood splitting during installation, while opposing hole patterns make back-to-back configurations possible without fastener interference - keeping joints consistently straight and strong.

Key Features

• 90 deg. connection for medium- or heavy-duty applications - provides a rigid, right-angle joint that outperforms angled nailing or screw fastening alone, giving structural connections greater long-term integrity.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the thickness and load capacity needed for demanding framing tasks, so builders can rely on consistent performance across a wide range of structural applications.
• ZMAX galvanized finish with black powder-coat - the dual-layer protection offers superior corrosion resistance while the sleek black finish keeps exposed hardware looking intentional and polished.
• Staggered fastener holes - spacing holes in an offset pattern minimizes stress concentrations in the wood, reducing splitting risk and helping preserve the integrity of the surrounding lumber.
• Opposing hole patterns for back-to-back installation - allows two angles to be mounted face-to-face without fasteners interfering with each other, expanding layout flexibility on complex framing projects.
• Compatible with Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws - designed to install with color-matched screws (sold separately, Model SDS25112DBB), so the hardware system stays visually cohesive and structurally coordinated.

Why This Product

• Strength where it counts - this L angle creates a mechanically superior 90 deg. connection compared to angled nailing or screw fastening alone, making it a dependable choice for structural joints that need to hold under real load conditions.
• Built for outdoor exposure - the combination of ZMAX galvanized steel and a black powder-coat finish provides superior corrosion resistance, making this connector well-suited for exterior framing and other environments where moisture and the elements are a concern.
• A finished look for visible hardware - the black powder-coat gives structural connections a refined, intentional appearance, so this angle works equally well on decorative exposed framing as it does on purely functional joints.
• Installer-friendly design - staggered holes and opposing hole patterns work together to reduce splitting risk, simplify layout, and support back-to-back configurations, cutting down on field adjustments and keeping installation straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of connection does the ML23PC provide?

The ML23PC provides a 90 deg. connection suitable for medium- or heavy-duty structural applications, and it is stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone.

What screws are required to install the ML23PC?

The ML23PC installs with (4) 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws per angle, sold separately (Model: SDS25112DBB).

What finish does the ML23PC have, and why does it matter?

The ML23PC features a ZMAX galvanized finish with a black powder-coat. This combination provides superior corrosion resistance while delivering a stylish, finished appearance for exposed structural connections.

Can two ML23PC angles be installed back to back?

Yes. The opposing hole patterns on the ML23PC allow for back-to-back installation without fastener interference, offering flexible installation options for your framing projects.
