These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on
this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.
Versatile angle gussets and heavy angles promote standardization
and construction economy, and are compatible with Simpson
Strong-Tie® structural hardware.
FINISH: 7 ga Models–Galvanized; 3 ga Models–Simpson Strong-Tie®
gray paint. May be ordered HDG. Contact Simpson Strong-Tie.
OPTIONS: Gussets may be added to HL models when L ≥ 5"
(specify G after model number, as in HL46G).

L–Staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility for splitting. LS–Field-adjustable
0° to 135° angles.The GA Gusset Angles’ embossed bend section provides added strength.
MATERIAL: L–16 gauge; GA and LS–18 gauge
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX® coating;
see Corrosion Information, pages 13-15.
INSTALLATION: • Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
• LS–field skewable; bend one time only.
• Joist must be constrained against rotation (for example, with solid blocking)
when using a single LS per connection.
• Nail the L angle’s wider leg into the joist to ensure table loads and
allow correct nailing.

Notes
1. L angles–loads are for condition F1 or F2; LS angles–loads are for condition F1 only.
2.GA1 and GA2 angles table loads are F1 – loads for F2 are 235 lbs. and 355 lbs. (100) and
290 lbs. and 435 lbs. (125), respectively.
3.Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria.
Typical L50 Installation
4.Connectors are required on both sides to achieve F 2 loads in both directions.
5.GA angles may be installed with 10d nails.
6.NAILS: 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1⁄2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1⁄2" long. See pages 22-23 for other nail sizes and information.
