The Simpson ML210Z 2 x 10 ZMAX Galvanized Medium L Angle from Simpson is a 12-gauge steel angle bracket engineered to deliver solid 90 deg. connections in medium and heavy-duty framing, structural, and construction applications. Its staggered fastener holes minimize wood splitting during installation, while an opposing hole pattern supports back-to-back mounting without fastener interference - giving builders the flexibility and confidence needed for demanding projects. Designed for use with 1/4 in. x 1 1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, this L angle combines the strength of dedicated hardware fastening with the corrosion protection of ZMAX galvanization, making it equally suited for interior framing, exterior structures, and treated-wood assemblies.

Key Features

• 90 deg. connection for medium and heavy-duty applications - creates a rigid, reliable right-angle joint that holds up under load where simple nailing or angled screwing falls short
• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening - dedicated connector geometry transfers load more efficiently, improving the overall integrity of the framed connection
• Staggered fastener holes - reduces stress concentration in wood members during installation, helping preserve the structural integrity of the lumber being joined
• Opposing hole pattern for back-to-back installation - allows two brackets to be mounted together without fastener conflict, adding versatility in tight or multi-member framing situations
• 12-gauge steel construction - provides the thickness and rigidity required for structural connections, ensuring the bracket performs under medium and heavy-duty demands
• ZMAX galvanization - delivers extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior environments and treated-wood applications, extending the service life of the connection
• Compatible with Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - pairing this bracket with the correct fastener type maximizes connection strength and ensures the system performs as engineered

Why This Product

• Built for tough conditions - ZMAX galvanized coating goes beyond standard zinc protection, making this angle bracket a dependable choice for outdoor framing, pressure-treated lumber, and moisture-prone environments where corrosion is a real concern
• Engineered for clean, consistent corners - the L angle format guides lumber into a true 90 deg. alignment, helping contractors and builders achieve straighter, more uniform joints across an entire framing project
• Installer-friendly hole design - staggered holes protect the wood from splitting while the opposing pattern removes the guesswork from back-to-back installations, saving time and reducing material waste on the job
• Versatile enough for multiple structural uses - from joist connections and beam tie-ins to general structural framing, this medium L angle handles a broad range of applications where a strong, right-angle connector is needed

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fasteners should be used with the Simpson ML210Z angle?

The ML210Z is designed to be installed with 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. Note that fasteners are not provided with the angle and must be purchased separately.

Is the ML210Z suitable for outdoor or treated-wood applications?

Yes. The ML210Z features ZMAX galvanization, which offers extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood.

Can two ML210Z angles be installed back-to-back?

Yes. The ML210Z is engineered with an opposing hole pattern that allows for back-to-back installation without fastener interference, making it highly versatile in tight framing situations.

Why are the fastener holes staggered on this angle bracket?

The fastener holes on the ML210Z are staggered to minimize wood splitting during installation, helping to maintain the structural integrity of the wood members being connected.
