Product Description
The Simpson S/LS50 Light-Duty Skewable Angle is a cold-formed steel, general-utility reinforcing angle engineered for light-gauge steel framing assemblies where precision and reliability matter most. Manufactured by Simpson, this load-rated connector is designed specifically for cold-formed steel applications, offering well-defined fastener locations and tabulated load values that account for connection eccentricities - advantages that field-fabricated clip angles simply cannot match. Its field-skewable design makes it a dependable choice for connecting roof rafters to hip rafters, as well as any structural members intersecting at non-standard angles.
Key Features
- Field skewable from 0 deg. to 135 deg. - accommodates a wide range of member intersection angles without custom fabrication, saving time and reducing material waste on the job site
- Bend one time only - a single, deliberate bend preserves the connector's structural integrity and ensures load-rated performance is maintained after adjustment
- Load-rated with defined fastener locations - tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities, giving specifiers and installers confidence that performance is backed by testing rather than guesswork
- 4-7/8 in. length in 18 ga. (43 mil) steel - proportioned to deliver the correct thickness for light-gauge steel reinforcing applications without over-engineering the connection
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - provides reliable corrosion resistance suited to cold-formed steel framing environments, helping the connector hold up over the long term
Why This Product
- A tested alternative to field-fabricated clip angles - unlike shop-made or site-cut angles, this connector carries tabulated load values developed through testing, so the performance of every connection is documented and verifiable rather than estimated
- Versatility built into a single connector - the ability to skew from 0 deg. to 135 deg. means one part handles a broad range of rafter-to-hip rafter connections and other angled CFS framing conditions, reducing the need to stock multiple connector types
- Engineered specifically for cold-formed steel framing - designed as part of Simpson's cold-formed steel connector lineup, the S/LS50 is sized, gauged, and rated to integrate cleanly into CFS assemblies where performance requirements differ from wood-frame construction
- Straightforward installation with a defined fastener pattern - requiring just 4 #10 screws and a single field bend, the connector is quick to install correctly, reducing the chance of fastener placement errors that could affect connection capacity

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the skew range of the S/LS50 angle?
- The S/LS50 is field skewable from 0 deg. to 135 deg., allowing it to accommodate a wide variety of member intersection angles without the need for custom fabrication.
- How many times can the S/LS50 be bent in the field?
- The S/LS50 should be bent one time only. Repeated bending can compromise the structural integrity of the connector and its load-rated performance.
- What fasteners are required to install the S/LS50?
- Installation requires 4 #10 screws. Using all specified fasteners is essential to achieving the tabulated load values for this connector.
- What corrosion protection does the S/LS50 have?
- The S/LS50 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, providing reliable corrosion resistance suitable for cold-formed steel framing environments.
