The Simpson Heavy L-Shaped Angle with Gusset 3x5 G90 Galvanized is a heavy-duty structural connector built to reinforce right-angle connections between wood framing members. Engineered from 7-gauge steel and finished with a G90 Zinc Galvanized coating, this gusseted angle bracket delivers the rigidity and corrosion resistance that demanding framing applications require. Whether you are tying two members at a 90 deg. corner, resisting uplift and lateral forces, or standardizing connections across a large framing project, this Simpson connector is built to hold up at every joint.

Key Features

• 7-gauge steel construction - provides exceptional load-bearing strength at right-angle connections, reducing the risk of joint failure under structural stress
• Gusseted L-shaped design - reinforces corner rigidity and resists both uplift and lateral forces, making it well suited for demanding framing connections
• G90 Zinc Galvanized coating - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance for reliable long-term performance in environments where moisture or exposure is a concern
• Compatible with 1/2 in. diameter bolts or lag screws - lag screws of equal diameter (minimum 5 in. long) may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load, giving installers flexible fastening options
• Designed for paired installation - using two connectors back to back achieves lateral load capacity in both directions, expanding performance in multi-directional load scenarios

Why This Product

• Heavy-gauge steel where it counts - 7-gauge construction means this angle bracket handles the structural demands of real framing work, not just light-duty corner reinforcement
• Built-in gusset for superior corner integrity - the gusseted profile adds stiffness that a standard flat angle bracket cannot match, helping maintain connection geometry under load
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life - the G90 Zinc Galvanized coating protects the connector in conditions where uncoated steel would deteriorate, reducing long-term maintenance concerns
• Domestically produced by a trusted structural connector brand - Simpson is a recognized name in structural connectors, and this product is manufactured in the United States to consistent quality standards

Frequently Asked Questions

What gauge steel is the HL35G made from, and what are its dimensions?

The HL35G is constructed from heavy 7-gauge steel. It measures 3-1/4 in. on Width-1, 3-1/4 in. on Width-2, and 5 in. in length, making it suitable for reinforcing structural wood members at right-angle connections.

What type of corrosion protection does the HL35G have?

The HL35G features a G90 Zinc Galvanized coating, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance and makes it well-suited for demanding construction environments where moisture or exposure may be a concern.

What structural forces does the HL35G help resist?

The HL35G is engineered to resist uplift and lateral forces at right-angle connections. Its gusseted design improves corner stability and overall connection rigidity, and when installed in pairs, it can achieve lateral loads in both directions.

What are the approved applications for the HL35G?

The HL35G is approved for reinforcing structural wood members at 90 deg. corners and right-angle connections, as well as general framing connections. Its versatile multipurpose design also promotes standardization and construction economy across a wide range of framing applications.
