The Simpson HL46PC Black Powder-Coated Ornamental Heavy Angle is a pre-finished, L-shaped timber connector from Simpson's Decorative Hardware line, built for exposed wood applications where structural performance and visual appeal must work together. Fabricated from 3-gauge steel with a black powder-coat finish, this heavy angle reinforces right-angle wood connections while contributing a clean, ornamental look to any project where the hardware remains in plain sight. It is compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware, supporting standardization across timber framing and heavy wood construction.

Key Features

• Connects timber members at right-angle joints - delivers the structural holding power needed to tie heavy wood members together securely at perpendicular connections.
• Resists uplift and diagonal forces in wood connections - provides multi-directional load resistance, adding stability to joints that experience dynamic or lateral stress.
• Made from 3-gauge steel - the heavy-gauge construction offers substantial rigidity and load capacity suited to demanding timber framing applications.
• Black powder-coat finish - the pre-finished surface gives exposed connectors a decorative, finished appearance without requiring additional painting or coating on the job site.
• Compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware - integrates seamlessly into existing Simpson hardware systems, promoting consistency and construction economy across a project.

Why This Product

• Structural and ornamental in one connector - because this heavy angle comes pre-finished in black powder coat, builders and designers can meet engineering requirements at right-angle timber joints without sacrificing the look of exposed hardware.
• Purpose-built for visible wood applications - the Decorative Hardware line is specifically designed for projects where connectors are seen, making this angle a natural fit for pergolas, pavilions, timber-frame entries, and similar exposed-structure builds.
• Heavy-gauge steel for demanding timber connections - 3-gauge construction means the connector handles the scale and load expectations of true timber framing, not just light-duty carpentry.
• Supports project standardization - compatibility with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware lets contractors coordinate multiple connector types under one trusted system, simplifying procurement and installation across the full scope of a timber project.
