The Simpson Heavy L-Shaped Angle 5 x 7 Hot-Dip Galvanized is a heavy-gauge steel connector engineered to reinforce right-angle connections where two structural wood members meet at 90 deg. Designed by Simpson for heavy framing, post-and-beam construction, and corner reinforcement applications, this connector delivers reliable resistance to uplift and lateral forces. Its hot-dip galvanized coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it a dependable choice wherever structural integrity and long-term durability are required.

Key Features

• L-shaped profile for 90 deg. connections - purpose-built geometry seats cleanly at right-angle joints, providing consistent corner reinforcement across heavy framing and structural applications.
• Resists uplift and lateral forces - engineered to handle the demanding loads that occur at structural junctions, helping maintain joint integrity under stress.
• Achieves lateral load capacity in both directions when installed in pairs - gives builders flexibility to engineer bidirectional resistance into a connection without sourcing additional hardware.
• Hot-dip galvanized coating - offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized finishes, supporting performance in moisture-prone environments and extending connector service life.
• Compatible with lag screws as a bolt substitute - lag screws of equal diameter (minimum 5 in. long) may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load, giving installers fastener flexibility without compromising rated performance.
• Made in the United States - domestic production supports consistent quality standards and reliable availability for professional construction projects.

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for demanding structural connections - the 7-gauge steel construction is suited for post-and-beam and heavy framing applications where a lighter connector would fall short, providing confidence in high-load right-angle joints.
• Corrosion-resistant finish built for real-world conditions - the hot-dip galvanized coating goes beyond standard galvanizing to deliver superior protection against moisture and environmental exposure, reducing the risk of long-term corrosion at critical connection points.
• Versatile fastening options reduce job-site friction - the ability to substitute lag screws for bolts in the beam with no load reduction means crews can adapt to available fasteners without sacrificing the connector's structural rating.
• Bidirectional lateral load resistance when paired - installing connectors in pairs unlocks lateral load capacity in both directions, making this angle bracket a practical solution for engineered connections that must perform across multiple load paths.
