The Simpson ML24PC Outdoor Accents Medium L Angle is a 12-gauge steel connector engineered to deliver a rigid 90 deg. connection for medium- or heavy-duty structural framing applications. Built from ZMAX galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish, this angle bracket provides superior corrosion resistance alongside a clean, decorative appearance - making it a reliable choice for exposed outdoor framing and joinery where structural performance and visual appeal must work together. Fastener holes are staggered to minimize wood splitting, and opposing hole patterns allow for back-to-back installation without fastener interference, ensuring consistently straight and strong joints every time.

Key Features

• 90 deg. connection for medium- or heavy-duty applications - delivers a mechanically rigid joint that outperforms angled nailing or screw fastening alone, giving builders confidence in the strength of every connection
• Staggered fastener holes - reduces the risk of wood splitting during installation, protecting the integrity of the structural member and simplifying the fastening process
• Opposing hole patterns - enable back-to-back installation without fastener interference, expanding the range of framing configurations this angle can support
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the load-bearing capacity needed for demanding structural joints without adding unnecessary bulk
• ZMAX galvanized finish with black powder coat - combines superior corrosion resistance with a stylish appearance, making this connector well suited for exposed outdoor framing where aesthetics are part of the design
• Installs with color-matched Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws (sold separately, Model SDS25112DBB) - ensures a cohesive finished look across the entire connection when the recommended fasteners are used

Why This Product

• Strength where it matters most - the rigid 90 deg. mechanical connection distributes load across a larger bearing surface than angled nailing or direct screw fastening, making this angle bracket a more dependable choice for medium- and heavy-duty framing joints
• Built for outdoor exposure - the ZMAX galvanized steel core paired with a black powder-coat finish delivers a dual layer of corrosion protection, keeping structural connections secure and visually sharp even in harsh outdoor environments
• Designed to simplify installation - staggered holes and opposing hole patterns reduce wood splitting risk and eliminate fastener interference in back-to-back setups, helping contractors and builders work more efficiently without compromising joint quality
• Aesthetics and function in one connector - the black powder-coat finish makes this angle a natural fit for decorative exposed framing applications where the hardware itself is part of the visible design, removing the need to conceal or paint over structural connectors

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are required to install the ML24PC angle?

The ML24PC installs with (6) 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws per angle. These screws are sold separately under Model SDS25112DBB and are color-matched to complement the black powder-coat finish of the angle.

Why is the ML24PC stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone?

The ML24PC provides a rigid 90 deg. mechanical connection that distributes load across a larger bearing surface than angled nailing or direct screw fastening. The 12-gauge steel construction and ZMAX galvanized finish ensure the connector maintains structural integrity over time, even in demanding outdoor environments.

Can two ML24PC angles be installed back-to-back?

Yes. The ML24PC features opposing hole patterns specifically designed to allow back-to-back installation without fastener interference, making it ideal for applications where double-sided connections are needed.

How does the ZMAX finish with black powder coat benefit outdoor installations?

ZMAX galvanized steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanization, making the ML24PC well-suited for outdoor and exposed environments. The black powder-coat finish adds an additional protective layer while delivering a refined aesthetic that pairs well with the Outdoor Accents connector hardware system.
