• Multiple Size Options: Available in various lengths and configurations to meet different structural demands.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish Options: Select models are available with protective coatings suitable for interior or exterior use.
• Code-Recognized Performance: Tested and evaluated for structural reliability when installed with specified fasteners.

Applications

• Beam-to-post connections
• Joist-to-beam reinforcement
• Post-to-beam reinforcement
• Structural framing repairs and retrofits
• Wood-to-concrete connections
• Heavy-duty corner bracing

Ideal for decks, pergolas, residential framing, and light commercial construction where added structural strength is required.

Installation

Install the HL angle using the specified fasteners and fill all required nail or bolt holes to achieve published load values. Proper fastener type, quantity, and installation method are critical to performance. Ensure tight, flush installation against framing members and follow applicable building codes and Simpson Strong-Tie installation guidelines for best results.

For exterior or treated lumber applications, select appropriate corrosion-resistant models and compatible fasteners.
