Simpson Strong Tie L50 L Angle Connector 5 Inches

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE L50 is a 16-gauge galvanized steel L-angle connector used to reinforce angled framing connections in residential and light commercial construction. It arrives pre-formed at 90 degrees, ready for immediate installation. The staggered nail pattern reduces the risk of wood splitting during fastening, and the wider leg geometry provides a stable nailing surface into joists and framing members. This connector outperforms traditional toe-nailed joints in lateral and shear load resistance, making it a standard choice for framers and carpenters working on floor, wall, and roof assemblies.

The L50 is suited for wood-frame construction applications where angle reinforcement is required at joist-to-beam, joist-to-ledger, or similar framing intersections. It is commonly installed in residential framing, decking, and light commercial wood-frame structures. The 5-inch leg length accommodates standard dimensional lumber framing. Sold in packages of 100 units, the L50 is practical for production framing work where high fastener volume is expected.

Key Features

• 16-gauge galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in exposed framing environments
• Pre-formed at 90 degrees for immediate installation without field bending
• Staggered nail pattern reduces wood splitting risk during fastening
• Wider leg design improves nailing accuracy into joists and framing members
• Outperforms traditional toe-nailed connections in lateral load applications
• Sold in 100-unit packages, suitable for production framing volume

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for use in standard wood-frame construction applications requiring 90-degree angle reinforcement at framing intersections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by framers or carpenters using manufacturer-specified structural nails or fasteners appropriate for the connector gauge and load requirements. Disconnect or isolate any associated structural loads before modifying existing framing connections. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC framing provisions, for fastener schedule and connector placement requirements. Do not substitute non-structural fasteners for the specified nails.
