Product Description
Simpson Heavy L-Shaped Angle 4-1/4 x 6 in. Hot-Dip Galvanized Heavy Angle is a heavy-duty right-angle timber connector from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered to connect timber members and reinforce right-angle connections in demanding structural applications. Fabricated from 3-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish, this heavy angle delivers the corrosion resistance and load-bearing strength required for exterior framing, treated-wood assemblies, and other applications where structural integrity cannot be compromised. Versatile heavy angles like this one promote standardization and construction economy, and are compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware - making them a trusted choice among engineers and contractors.
Key Features
- L-shaped profile for right-angle timber connections - reinforces 90 deg. joints between structural members, keeping connections tight and properly aligned under load
- Resists uplift and diagonal forces - provides multi-directional resistance in wood connections, improving overall structural stability where lateral and vertical loads are a concern
- 3-gauge steel construction - the heavy wall thickness delivers the rigidity and load capacity needed for demanding timber framing and heavy structural connections
- Hot-dip galvanized finish - the HDG coating offers extra corrosion resistance compared to standard coatings, making this connector well suited for exterior installations and contact with treated wood where moisture and chemical exposure are ongoing risks
- Installs with 3/4 in. diameter bolts - uses readily available fastener sizes, simplifying jobsite procurement and ensuring a secure, code-compatible connection
Why This Product
- Built for treated-wood and exterior environments - the hot-dip galvanized finish provides a higher level of corrosion protection than standard coatings, so this connector holds up in conditions where moisture and preservative chemicals would degrade lesser hardware over time
- Heavy-gauge strength for serious structural work - 3-gauge steel construction means this angle bracket is designed for timber connections that carry real loads, not light-duty framing tasks, giving builders confidence in the connection's long-term performance
- Engineered and tested by Simpson Strong-Tie - backed by the engineering rigor and quality standards that make Simpson Strong-Tie connectors the go-to choice for engineers and contractors on both residential and commercial projects
- Promotes standardization across the jobsite - compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware, this heavy angle fits into a broader system of connectors, reducing the need to source one-off solutions and supporting consistent, efficient construction practices

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Simpson HL46HDG used for?
- The Simpson HL46HDG is designed to help connect timber and reinforce right-angle connections in wood construction. Its L-shaped profile makes it ideal for applications where two members meet at a 90-degree angle, while also resisting uplift and diagonal forces in wood connections.
- What type of fasteners are required to install the HL46HDG?
- The HL46HDG is installed with 3/4 in. diameter bolts.
- Why does the HL46HDG have a hot-dip galvanized finish?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance, making the HL46HDG well suited for exterior applications and use with treated wood, where standard coatings may break down over time due to moisture or chemical exposure.
- What gauge steel is the HL46HDG made from?
- The HL46HDG is made from 3-gauge steel, providing heavy-duty strength and durability for demanding structural connections.
