Simpson Strong-Tie HL57HDG Heavy L-Shaped Angle - 5" x 7" Hot-Dip Galvanized

The Simpson Strong-Tie HL57HDG Heavy L-Shaped Angle is a versatile, multipurpose connector engineered to improve corner stability wherever two structural members meet at a 90 deg. angle. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with a hot-dip galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance, this connector promotes standardization and construction economy across a wide range of framing and structural applications. Its classic L-shaped profile delivers reliable performance in right-angle connections, resisting the uplift and lateral forces that demand the most from a structural connector.
