The Simpson Heavy L-Shaped Angle HL76HDG is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered for right-angle wood member connections that must resist both uplift and lateral forces. Built by Simpson and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating, this robust L-shaped angle is designed to reinforce corner connections in demanding structural framing applications where long-term durability and load performance are critical.

Key Features

• L-shaped heavy angle design - purpose-built for 90 deg. corner connections, providing reliable reinforcement wherever two wood members meet at a right angle
• Resists both uplift and lateral forces - delivers structural integrity in corners and framing joints that face multiple stress directions, keeping connections secure under load
• Paired installation achieves lateral loads in both directions - installing two connectors back to back maximizes performance and meets demanding structural requirements without compromise
• Hot-dip galvanized coating - provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, making this heavy angle well suited for construction environments where moisture exposure is a concern
• Bolt and lag screw installation flexibility - lag screws of equal diameter (minimum 5 in. long) may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load, giving installers practical on-site flexibility
• Made in the United States - domestically produced to consistent quality standards expected in professional structural framing work

Why This Product

• Heavy-duty construction for serious structural demands - this is not a light utility bracket; the heavy angle profile and galvanized steel construction are sized for substantial right-angle framing connections that must perform under real structural loads
• Versatile enough for multiple approved applications - from corner reinforcement and wood-to-wood framing joints to general heavy utility strap use, a single connector type covers a range of common structural scenarios on the job site
• No load penalty when substituting fasteners - the ability to swap bolts for equally sized lag screws without any reduction in load values gives contractors meaningful flexibility without sacrificing rated performance
• Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life - the hot-dip galvanized coating protects the connector in environments where standard coatings would degrade, helping ensure the connection maintains its integrity over the life of the structure
