The Simpson HL76PC Heavy Ornamental L-Angle is a pre-finished, heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson's Decorative Hardware line, built to connect timber members and reinforce right-angle connections in exposed wood applications. Fabricated from 3-gauge steel with a black powder-coat finish, this ornamental heavy angle delivers the structural performance needed to resist uplift and diagonal forces while contributing a clean, refined look to visible framing, architectural timber work, and decorative structural projects. Compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware, it promotes standardization and construction economy without sacrificing aesthetics.

Key Features

• Reinforces right-angle timber connections - the L-shaped profile securely joins timber members at 90 deg. joints, helping maintain alignment and structural integrity in heavy wood framing.
• Resists uplift and diagonal forces - engineered to handle the lateral and vertical stresses that occur in timber connections, adding long-term reliability to structural joints.
• Built from 3-gauge steel - the heavy-gauge construction provides the strength and rigidity required for demanding timber connector applications where a lighter connector would not suffice.
• Black powder-coat finish - the pre-finished surface is designed for exposed wood applications, delivering a polished, ornamental appearance that complements visible framing without additional finishing work on-site.
• Part of Simpson's Decorative Hardware line - engineered to pair structural performance with aesthetic intent, making it well suited for architectural and decorative timber projects where the connector remains visible.

Why This Product

• Structural strength with a finished look - unlike plain steel connectors that must be concealed, this heavy angle is specifically designed to be seen, combining load-bearing performance with an ornamental black powder-coat finish that enhances exposed timber framing.
• Heavy-gauge construction for demanding connections - at 3-gauge steel, this connector is built for substantial timber work, giving builders confidence that right-angle joints are reinforced against uplift and diagonal forces in real-world conditions.
• Promotes job-site efficiency - as a pre-finished, ready-to-install connector that promotes standardization and construction economy, it reduces the time and steps needed to achieve both a structural and decorative result in one component.
• Designed for compatibility - built to work with Simpson Strong-Tie structural hardware, this heavy angle fits naturally into projects already specifying that system, keeping hardware consistent and simplifying procurement and installation planning.
