The Simpson Strong-Tie HL76GPC Heavy L-Shaped Angle with Gusset is a powder-coated, ornamental-grade connector engineered for structural right-angle connections where aesthetics and performance must coexist. Part of Simpson Strong-Tie's Classic Collection, the HL76GPC features modern smooth edges and clean lines that complement visible installations. Its durable black powder-coat finish makes it equally at home in exposed architectural applications and heavy utility framing where two members meet at a precise 90 deg. angle. Manufactured in the United States, this heavy-gauge angle delivers reliable resistance to uplift and lateral forces in demanding indoor architectural projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the HL76GPC angle?

The HL76GPC has a Width-1 of 7-1/4 in., a Width-2 of 7-1/4 in., and a Length of 6 in., making it a symmetrical heavy L-shaped angle suitable for connecting two wood members of similar width at a precise 90 deg. angle.

What finish does the HL76GPC have, and is it suitable for visible or architectural installations?

The HL76GPC features a black powder-coat finish, which gives it a clean, polished appearance. It is part of Simpson Strong-Tie's Classic Collection, designed with modern smooth edges and clean lines specifically to complement exposed architectural and ornamental applications.

How does the gusset on this angle improve performance?

The gusset reinforces the right-angle profile of the connector, providing added strength at the joint where two wood members meet at 90 deg.. This heavy-gauge design helps resist uplift and lateral forces, and when installed in pairs, the connector achieves lateral loads in both directions.

What gauge steel is used in the HL76GPC?

The HL76GPC is constructed from 3-gauge steel, which classifies it as a heavy-gauge connector. This substantial material thickness contributes to its ability to withstand significant structural loads in demanding indoor architectural framing applications.
