L/LS/GA Reinforcing and Skewable Angles

www.strongtie.com

L - Staggered nail pattern reduces the possibility for splitting.

LS - Field-adjustable 0° to 135° angles.

The GA Gusset Angles' embossed bend section provides added strength.

Material: L - 16 gauge; GA and LS - 18 gauge

Finish: Galvanized. Some products available in stainless steel or ZMAX®; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
LS - field skewable; bend one time only.
Joist must be constrained against rotation (for example, with solid blocking) when using a single LS per connection.
Nail the L angle's wider leg into the joist to ensure table loads and allow correct nailing.

Use a minimum lumber thickness of 1 3/4". For 1 1/2" lumber, use 0.81 of table load, except GA1 in F₁ direction, use 185 lbs.
L angles - loads are for condition F₁ or F₂;
LS angles - loads are for condition F₁ only.
GA1 and GA2 angles table loads are F₁ - loads for F2 are 220 and 335 lbs (100) and 280 and 415 lbs (125), respectively.
Roof loads are 125% of floor loads unless limited by other criteria.
Connectors are required on both sides to achieve F₂ loads in both directions.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long, 10d = 0.148" dia. x 3" long, 10dx1 1/2 = 0.148" dia. x 1 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
