Simpson Strong Tie ML26Z Medium L Angle 2x6

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE ML26Z is a medium L angle connector designed for structural framing and repair applications in wood construction. Built for load-bearing connections, it features staggered hole placement that reduces wood splitting during fastener installation and allows dual-sided installation without fastener interference. The ML26Z is compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS screws for secure, high-integrity connections. Licensed contractors, framers, and experienced builders install this connector where reliable angle support is required at 2x6 framing members.

The ML26Z is suited for residential and light commercial wood-framed construction. Typical applications include wall framing, floor framing, furniture assembly, and custom structural builds where a right-angle metal connector is required. The staggered hole layout supports efficient installation in tight framing bays and corners where fastener access from both sides of the connection is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed framers or general contractors following applicable building codes.
