Description
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. 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
