Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie LS50SS 4-7/8 in. 18-Gauge Stainless-Steel Skewable Reinforcing Angle is a heavy-duty connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to reinforce 90 deg. connections and deliver greater joint strength than angled nailing or screw fastening alone. Constructed from 18-gauge stainless steel, this angle provides high and severe corrosion resistance, making it ideally suited for outdoor applications and environments where moisture is present. Its field-adjustable design allows it to be bent from 0 deg. to 135 deg. on the job site, giving builders and DIYers the flexibility to accommodate members intersecting at virtually any angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the LS50SS be adjusted on the job site to fit non-square connections?
- Yes. The LS50SS is field-adjustable from 0 deg. to 135 deg., allowing it to accommodate framing members that intersect at a wide range of angles. Cut-outs along the bend line make the bending process easier. Note that it may only be bent one time.
- What fasteners should be used to install the LS50SS?
- The LS50SS should be installed with stainless-steel 10d common nails to maintain the corrosion resistance of the connector throughout the connection.
- Why choose the LS50SS over angled nailing or field-fabricated clip angles?
- The LS50SS offers greater strength than angled nailing or screw fastening and features well-defined fastener locations with a staggered fastener pattern that reduces the risk of wood splitting. Its tested, load-rated design ensures reliable performance that field-fabricated alternatives cannot consistently match.
- Is the LS50SS suitable for use in high-moisture or corrosive environments?
- Yes. The LS50SS is made from stainless steel, which provides high and severe corrosion resistance. This makes it an appropriate choice for outdoor projects and applications where moisture is regularly present.
