Simpson Strong Tie Simpson Strong-tie Ls50z Skewable Angle, 4-7/8 In, Zmax Steel
Videos
The Simpson Strong-Tie LS50Z is an adjustable L-angle connector designed for framing and structural reinforcement in construction projects. This skewable angle connector is shipped at a 45-degree angle and can be field-adjusted from 0 to 135 degrees, making it ideal for connecting members that intersect at non-standard angles. It serves as a load-rated reinforcing angle with well-defined fastener locations and tested load values that account for connection eccentricities.
Made from 18-gauge ZMAX galvanized steel, this connector provides long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. The skewable design allows you to attach members intersecting at angles without field fabrication. Whether reinforcing wall connections, roof trusses, or other structural elements, this angle connector delivers the holding power and adjustability needed for challenging installation angles.
Features and Benefits
- Skewable Design: Adjusts from 0 to 135 degrees, allowing connection of members at any angle without field fabrication.
- Load-Rated Connector: Engineered fastener locations and tested load values ensure reliable performance compared to field-made clip angles.
- ZMAX Galvanized Steel: 18-gauge construction provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
- Versatile Application: Works as a general utility reinforcing angle with multiple uses in framing and construction projects.
- Secure Fastening: Designed for installation with eight 10d HDG nails for maximum holding power.
