Simpson Strong-tie ML24Z Medium L Angle 2x4 Zmax

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE ML24Z is a medium L angle framing connector designed to reinforce and align wood-to-wood joints in light-duty and structural framing applications. Finished in ZMAX galvanization, the connector provides enhanced corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber and damp or exterior environments. The ML24Z is sized for 2x4 framing members and delivers consistent 90-degree corner alignment, reducing layout time and improving joint integrity. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this connector where code-compliant corner connections are required.

This connector is commonly used in residential and light commercial wood framing, including wall framing, blocking, ledger connections, and interior partition corners. The L angle profile bridges two members at a right angle, distributing load across the fastened faces. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications where a positive mechanical connection is needed at a framing corner or butt joint. The ZMAX coating makes it compatible with ACQ and other preservative-treated lumber without accelerated corrosion of the connector.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framers using manufacturer-specified connector nails or screws driven through the pre-punched holes. Fasten both legs of the angle fully before applying load to the joint. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC and local adopted codes, for required fastener schedules and connector placement. Do not substitute fastener types or quantities without verifying compliance with the published load tables for this connector.
