This is an adjustable L-angle designed for fastening wood-to-wood connections at varying angles. Model Number LS70Z. If you need to tie members together where a fixed angle bracket does not line up cleanly, this connector gives you a simpler way to make that connection without fabricating something in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat makes the LS70Z useful is the adjustment range. It can be bent from 0 degrees to 135 degrees and ships at 45 degrees, which gives you room to match different intersecting member angles on site. Simpson Strong-Tie also calls out that it should be bent one time only. That matters because this is meant to be fitted once for the connection, not repeatedly reshaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe LS70Z is made from 18-gauge steel with a 43 mil thickness and a 6-3\/8 inch length. It is part of Simpson Strong-Tie's LS series of skewable angles, which are used for general utility reinforcing as well as specific framing jobs like connecting roof rafters to hip rafters. Compared to field-fabricated clip angles, the advantage here is consistency. You get a manufactured connector with defined fastener locations instead of relying on a custom-made piece on the fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe ZMAX galvanized finish is one of the bigger reasons to choose this version over a basic plated connector. It is intended for added corrosion resistance, including exterior and treated-wood applications, and the product is listed as ACQ approved. For decks, exposed framing repairs, and other spots where standard steel hardware can be a weak link, that finish is doing real work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward, but the details matter. This LS angle is used for wood-to-wood fastening and is installed with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1\/2 inch Strong-Drive SD screws. The connector has 10 holes and well-defined fastener locations to help keep placement consistent. Simpson Strong-Tie also notes that when a single LS is used per connection, the joist must be constrained against rotation, for example with solid blocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Carpenters, framers, remodelers, deck builders, and serious DIY users who run into angled wood connections that do not fit a standard bracket. It is especially useful when you want a cleaner, faster solution for repairs or roof framing details, but you still want a connector from a tested structural hardware brand instead of improvising with flat stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFits Angled Connections Without Custom Fabrication\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/v0jop4d7lp\/jpeg\/C_LS_InstIll_Ill_Instld_Skewable-L-Angle-TopView_CY.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie LS70Z Adjustable L-Angle diagram showing the connector bending from 0 to 135 degrees for angled wood framing connections\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eIf your framing members meet at an odd angle, the LS70Z gives you adjustment range instead of forcing you into a fixed bracket.
