ANGLES AND BRACES LL ML LIGHT ANGLES/MEDIUM ANGLES Design Features . . MLs provide fast, accurate bolting of two intersecting wood members (reinforcing intersection joints). LLs are versatile reinforcing angles that are nailed to reinforce intersecting wood members. Material . . 18 ga. galvanized and 12 ga. galvanized steel, depending upon size and load requirements. Special . . medium angles are designed for standardization and construction economies, and to provide compatibility with the SUPERSPEED structural hardware line. LL ML44 ZH ML66 ML210 ZH24 ZH44 ZH241 "L"/"T" BRACES Design Features . . inexpensive braces are ideal for gates, patios covers, joining posts and columns to headers, beams and other applications where added reinforcement is needed. Braces may be bolted for heavy-duty applications. Material . . light and medium-duty use, 14 ga. galvanized steel; heavy-duty use, ³⁄₁₆" steel. Finish . . TH and LH SUPERSPEED gray paint. ZH261 T12 L T 68 ML88 ML33 "Z" HANGERS (CLIPS) Design Features . . ZH24 hangers are used for flat-blocking between joists or trusses to complete diaphragm nailing. ZH241, ZH261 and ZH44 hangers are used to support joists when they are skewed to eliminate toe-nailing for faster installation. They require fewer nails. Material . . 28 ga., 18 ga., and 12 ga. galvanized steel. Special . . ZH2428 and ZH3428 hangers are made from 28 ga. galvanized steel. For installation savings, the ZHs are normally nailed or stapled to the stiffeners (joist) first and then used for flat-blocking between the joists or trusses to complete diaphragm nailing.
