The Simpson Heavy L-Shaped Angle with Gusset 3x7 G90 Galvanized is a heavy-duty corner connector built to reinforce right-angle connections between structural wood members in residential and commercial construction. Engineered by Simpson in the United States, this gusseted angle provides reliable stability at framing corners while helping to resist both uplift and lateral forces - making it a dependable choice for demanding structural applications where connection integrity is critical.

Key Features

• L-shaped design with integrated gusset - reinforces the joint at the bend point, adding rigidity that a standard flat angle cannot provide, so the connection holds under real structural load
• Resists uplift and lateral forces - addresses two of the most common failure modes at framing corners, giving builders confidence in long-term connection performance
• Achieves lateral loads in both directions when installed in pairs - allows balanced, bidirectional structural performance at a single connection point without relying on supplemental hardware
• G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides a corrosion-resistant finish suited to construction environments where moisture exposure is a concern, helping extend the service life of the connector
• Versatile heavy angle connector - approved for corner framing reinforcement in both residential and commercial construction, reducing the need to source multiple specialty products for different project types
• Promotes construction economy and standardization - a single multipurpose connector that simplifies procurement and streamlines installation across a range of right-angle framing applications

Why This Product

• Gusseted construction adds real structural value - the gusset reinforces the critical bend area of the angle, providing greater rigidity at the joint than a plain angle bracket, which matters most when connections are subject to uplift or lateral stress
• American-made quality from a trusted structural connector brand - produced domestically by Simpson, a brand widely recognized by contractors and engineers for consistent manufacturing standards in structural connectors
• Corrosion resistance built in from the factory - the G90 galvanized coating means this connector arrives ready for use in moisture-prone environments without requiring additional treatment or protective measures on the job site
• Flexible installation for bidirectional load demands - the ability to install connectors in pairs to achieve lateral loads in both directions gives builders a straightforward path to meeting structural requirements at corners without redesigning the connection detail
