Product Description
The Simpson ML23SS ML 2 in. x 3 in. 12-Gauge Stainless-Steel Medium L Angle is a heavy-duty structural connector from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to create reliable 90 deg. corner connections in medium and heavy-duty framing and woodworking applications. Constructed from 12-gauge stainless steel, this angle delivers superior corrosion resistance alongside the structural integrity needed for exterior and treated-wood projects. Its thoughtfully designed fastener hole pattern makes installation straightforward while ensuring consistently straight, strong joints every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners should be used with the ML23SS angle?
- Install with 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. stainless-steel Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws. Always use stainless-steel fasteners with stainless connectors. Fasteners are not provided with the angle.
- Why is stainless steel the right choice for exterior or treated-wood applications?
- Stainless steel offers extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized finishes, making the ML23SS especially well-suited for exterior environments and applications involving pressure-treated or chemically treated lumber where corrosion is a long-term concern.
- How does the ML23SS hole pattern prevent wood splitting?
- The fastener holes are staggered across the connector legs, which distributes the load and reduces the likelihood of splitting the wood grain during installation - a common issue when fasteners are driven in a straight line along the wood fiber.
- Can two ML23SS angles be installed back to back?
- Yes. The opposing hole pattern is specifically designed to allow for back-to-back installation without fastener interference, enabling stronger double-angle connections where the application demands additional load capacity.
