Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the Simpson HSLQ312-SDS2.5 heavy shear transfer angle?

The HSLQ heavy shear transfer angle is designed to transfer lateral loads from wood solid sawn joists or blocking into a wood solid sawn element such as a moment frame nailer, resisting in-plane lateral forces in wood framing assemblies.

What are the dimensions of the HSLQ312-SDS2.5?

The angle measures 3-1/4 in. in height, 11-3/4 in. in length, and 2-3/4 in. in depth, and is manufactured from 12-gauge steel.

Are fasteners included with the HSLQ312-SDS2.5?

Yes. The HSLQ312-SDS2.5 includes (18) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (Model: SDS25212), so no separate fastener purchase is required for a standard installation.

Can the HSLQ312-SDS2.5 accommodate a gap between framing members?

Yes. The HSLQ is designed to allow up to a 2 in. gap between structural members. It also features a built-in gap indication notch to make proper alignment and installation straightforward.
