Simpson Strong Tie Simpson Strong-tie L70z Reinforcing Angle, 7 In., Z-max Steel

The Simpson Strong-Tie L70Z is a 7-inch reinforcing angle designed to strengthen connections where two members meet at right angles. Made from 16-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel, this L-shaped connector provides superior strength compared to conventional toe-nailing techniques. It is engineered to support loads in wood and cold-formed steel structures.

This reinforcing angle is a load-rated connector with well-defined fastener locations and testing that ensures tabulated load values account for connection eccentricities. The staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility of wood splitting. The wider leg is designed to be nailed into the joist to allow correct nailing and proper installation. These angles are general utility reinforcing connectors with multiple uses in framing applications.
