HL Heavy L-Shaped Angle
On This Page
Product Details
The HL is a versatile angle designed to improve corner stability. This multipurpose connector helps promote standardization and construction economy. The L-shaped design of this heavy utility strap makes it ideal for a variety of applications where two members meet at a 90° angle.
Key Features
- Helps reinforce wood members in right-angle connections
- Resists uplift and lateral forces
- Achieves lateral loads in both directions when installed in pairs
Finish
- 7 and 8 ga. models — galvanized; 3 ga. models — Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint. Some models available in HDG; see Corrosion Information.
Installation
- Install with bolts
- Lag screws of equal diameter (minimum 5" long) may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load.
Options
- Gussets may be added to HL models when L ≥ 5" (specify G after model number, as in HL46G)
- Ornamental alternative: HLPC angles

Load Tables
These products are available with additional corrosion protection.
- See General Notes for Straps and Ties.
- For SPF/HF lumber, use 0.85 x DF/SP allowable loads.
- Parts should be centered on the face of the member, which is at least as wide as the angle, to which they are attached.
- Wood members for the "3" and "5" series must have a minimum width and thickness of 3 1/2" for table loads to apply.
- Wood members for the "4" and "7" series must have a minimum width and thickness of 5 1/8" for table loads to apply.
- Allowable loads are for a single connector. Uplift loads may be doubled when using two parts. Connectors are required on both sides to achieve lateral loads in both directions. Lateral loads may not be doubled.
- Lag screws of equal diameter (minimum 5" long) may be substituted for bolts in the beam with no reduction in load.
