Product Description
The Simpson ML23Z ML 2 in. x 3 in. 12-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Medium L Angle by Simpson Strong-Tie is a heavy-duty structural connector designed to create strong, consistent 90 deg. corner joints in medium and heavy-duty framing and construction applications. The ML angle combines strength and versatility through the use of Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, and its ZMAX galvanized coating makes it especially well suited for exterior and treated-wood environments where corrosion resistance is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What fasteners are recommended for installing the ML23Z?
- Install with (4) 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws per angle (Model: SDS25112, sold separately).
- Why is the ML23Z angle stronger than standard nailing or screw fastening?
- The ML angle creates a rigid 90 deg. mechanical connection that distributes load across the connector plate and multiple fastener points, which is stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone and helps ensure joints are consistently straight and strong.
- Is the ML23Z suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber?
- Yes. The ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance specifically designed for exterior and treated-wood applications, making the ML23Z appropriate for use with treated lumber.
- Can two ML23Z angles be installed back to back?
- Yes. The ML23Z features an opposing hole pattern that allows for back-to-back installation without fastener interference, providing added flexibility for double-sided connection applications.
