Simpson Strong Tie ML24Z Medium L Angle 2x4

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE ML24Z is a medium L angle connector used to join and reinforce framing members in wood construction. It features a Zmax coating, a zinc-rich galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior applications. Staggered fastener hole patterns reduce the risk of wood splitting during installation, and opposing hole layouts are positioned to prevent screw interference when driving fasteners from both sides. This connector is installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors where a reliable right-angle connection between dimensional lumber members is required.

The ML24Z is suited for light framing, bracing, and structural tie applications using 2x4 dimensional lumber. Its compact form factor fits standard stud bays and framing cavities. The Zmax coating makes it appropriate for covered exterior framing and treated-lumber applications where standard galvanized hardware may fall short. Installers working on decks, garages, sheds, additions, and interior framing will find this connector a direct fit for common right-angle connection tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed carpenters, framers, or qualified contractors using manufacturer-specified fasteners for the connector holes provided. Power down any adjacent electrical systems and secure the work area before beginning structural fastening. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC and IRC framing requirements, for connector placement and fastener schedules. Do not substitute fastener types or quantities, as connector load ratings depend on full hole fill with the specified hardware.
