The Simpson ML26PC Outdoor Accents Medium L Angle is a 12-gauge steel structural connector designed to deliver reliable 90 deg. connections in medium- and heavy-duty framing applications. Finished with ZMAX galvanization and a black powder coat, this angle bracket combines superior corrosion resistance with a clean, polished look that suits exposed outdoor joints and architectural framing details. Staggered fastener holes reduce the risk of wood splitting, while opposing hole patterns make back-to-back installation possible without fastener interference - keeping your installation clean and structurally sound.

Key Features

• 90 deg. connection for medium- or heavy-duty applications - creates rigid, precisely angled joints that hold up to demanding structural loads
• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening - the formed steel angle distributes load more evenly across the joint, reducing the risk of connection failure over time
• Staggered fastener holes - minimizes wood splitting during installation, protecting the integrity of the lumber at the connection point
• Opposing hole patterns - allow back-to-back installation without fastener interference, giving you more flexibility in complex framing layouts
• ZMAX galvanized finish with black powder coat - the dual-layer protection fights corrosion in outdoor and exposed environments while delivering a sharp, finished appearance on visible structural connections
• Installs with Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws - designed to pair with color-matched fasteners (sold separately, Model: SDS25112DBB) for a cohesive look and verified performance

Why This Product

• Structural reliability with a finished look - the black powder-coat finish over ZMAX galvanized steel means this angle connector works equally well in load-bearing framing and in visible outdoor installations where appearance matters
• Engineered for cleaner, faster installs - staggered holes and opposing hole patterns are built into the design to prevent wood splitting and eliminate fastener conflicts when installing two angles back to back, reducing rework on the job
• A stronger alternative to traditional fastening methods - by replacing angled nailing or screw fastening with a formed 12-gauge steel connector, this angle helps ensure joints stay consistently straight and hold their geometry over time
• Built to coordinate with a complete fastening system - the ML26PC is part of the Simpson Outdoor Accents line and is designed to work with matching heavy-duty connector screws, so hardware, finish, and performance all align in one cohesive system

Frequently Asked Questions

What fasteners are required to install the ML26PC angle?

The ML26PC installs with (8) 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Outdoor Accents Heavy-Duty Connector screws per angle, sold separately (Model: SDS25112DBB).

Why is the ML26PC stronger than standard angled nailing or screw fastening?

The ML26PC provides a rigid 90 deg. connection formed by 12-gauge steel, which distributes load more effectively across the joint than angled nailing or screw fastening alone, helping ensure joints are consistently straight and strong.

Can two ML26PC angles be installed back to back?

Yes. The opposing hole patterns of the ML26PC are specifically designed to allow for back-to-back installation without fastener interference.

What type of finish does the ML26PC have, and why does it matter?

The ML26PC features a ZMAX galvanized finish with a black powder coat. This combination provides superior corrosion resistance along with a visually appealing appearance, making it well-suited for exposed outdoor structural connections.
