Simpson Strong Tie LS50Z Adjustable L-angle 50 Pack

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE LS50Z Adjustable L-Angle is an 18-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel framing connector shipped pre-set at a 45-degree angle. It is designed to be bent one time at designated holes to reach a final angle suited to the specific application. That single-bend design preserves structural integrity and maintains the rigidity required for load-bearing framing and support work. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this connector where adjustable metal angle support is needed without field-fabricating custom hardware. The Z-Max galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for both interior and treated-lumber applications.

The LS50Z is suited for wood-frame residential and light commercial construction where framing members require angled metal connector support. Typical applications include rafter ties, header support, blocking connections, and general framing angles where a fixed connector does not fit the geometry of the assembly. Each connector installs with eight 10D HDG nails. This product is sold in a package of 50 connectors, making it practical for production framing jobs or multi-unit residential projects where consistent connector quantities are needed across many identical connections.

Key Features

• Pre-set at 45 degrees from the factory with one-time field-adjustable bend capability
• 18-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance including treated-lumber contact
• Designated bend holes preserve strength and rigidity through the adjustment
• Installs with eight 10D HDG nails for a secure, code-ready fastening pattern
• Sold in a 50-piece package for production framing efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard connector for wood-frame residential and light commercial framing applications requiring an adjustable metal L-angle connector.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by framers or general carpentry contractors familiar with metal connector plates and engineered fastening schedules. Fasten using the specified 10D HDG nails through all designated nail holes before placing the assembly under load. The one-time bend must be completed before final fastening and should not be reversed or re-bent, as doing so degrades the connector's structural capacity. Consult the applicable building code and the manufacturer load table for the adjusted angle before specifying this connector in engineered applications.
