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® coating.
Installation:
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
- Use hot-dip galvanized (HDG) nails with ZMAX and HDG connector products. Use Type 316 stainless-steel nails with our stainless-steel connector products.
- 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.
