Simpson Strong Tie L70 L Angle 7 Inches 50 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE L70 is a 16-gauge galvanized steel L-angle connector designed to reinforce angle connections in structural framing applications. Shipped pre-formed at 90 degrees, it installs with eight 10D nails and delivers a stronger hold than standard toenail methods. The wider leg provides full nailing surface into joists, and the staggered nail pattern distributes load while reducing the risk of wood splitting. This connector is a staple for carpenters, framers, and structural contractors working on wood-frame construction.

The L70 L-angle is used in residential and light commercial framing where reliable angle connections are required. Common applications include joist-to-beam connections, stud-to-plate ties, and general framing reinforcement wherever a 90-degree corner joint needs added structural support. The pre-angled profile eliminates field bending and speeds up installation on the job site. Each package contains 50 connectors, making it practical for production framing and multi-unit builds.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural connector for standard dimensional lumber used in wood-frame residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed framers or carpenters in accordance with local building codes and applicable load tables. Fasten with the specified 10D nails only — do not substitute fastener type or quantity, as connection values depend on the full nail schedule. Ensure framing members are properly aligned and plumb before fastening. Consult the applicable building code and connector load tables for required spacing and quantity in structural applications.
