This is a reinforcing angle designed for fastening wood-to-wood members where the joint angle may vary. Model Number: LS90Z. If you are tying rafters, hip rafters, framing members, or repair pieces together and need more flexibility than a fixed 90 degree bracket gives you, this connector is built for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWhat separates the LS90Z from a basic angle bracket is its adjustable design. It can be bent in the field from 0 degrees to 135 degrees, which makes it useful when members intersect at odd angles or when you are dealing with real-world framing that is not perfectly square. Simpson also notes that it is shipped at 45 degrees and should be bent one time only. That matters because this is meant to solve fit-up problems on site, not to be bent back and forth until the steel fatigues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe LS series is described by Simpson Strong-Tie as a general utility reinforcing angle with multiple uses, and the LS90Z is the largest length in the provided series data at 7-7\/8 inches. That longer body gives you more bearing area and more room for the specified fastener pattern compared with shorter versions in the same family. Each leg measures 2-1\/4 inches, and the connector is made from 43 mil, 18 gauge steel. In practical use, that means a compact connector with enough material to serve as a real structural reinforcement piece for framing and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eMaterial and finish matter a lot with connectors, especially around treated lumber and exterior exposure. The LS90Z uses carbon steel with a ZMAX finish, and supplementary product data identifies it as suitable for treated lumber. Simpson also specifies using hot-dip galvanized fasteners with ZMAX and hot-dip galvanized connector products to achieve the intended corrosion performance. That is one of those details that is easy to skip and expensive to ignore later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward, but the details matter. Simpson's guidance is to use all specified fasteners and keep the joist constrained against rotation when using a single LS per connection. The product description also calls out that the LS connector has well-defined fastener locations and tabulated load values to account for connection eccentricities. In plain language, the hole pattern is there for a reason. If you want the published performance, you need the correct fasteners in the correct locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn actual jobs, this reinforcing angle makes the most sense for carpenters, framers, remodelers, and serious DIY users handling structural wood connections, angle repairs, and roof framing tie-ins. It is especially useful where a standard fixed-angle bracket is the wrong shape for the connection. If you want a flexible framing connector with a corrosion-resistant finish and published installation guidance, the Simpson Strong-Tie LS90Z Reinforcing Angle is the right kind of hardware to keep on hand.\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 Angles That Standard Brackets Do Not\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:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/10501350129958_4b5c40ec3748.jpg\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie LS90Z Reinforcing Angle adjustment illustration showing the skewable connector bending from 0 to 135 degrees for wood framing connection alignment on a jobsite\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eIf the connection is not a clean 90 degrees, a fixed bracket can slow the whole repair down.
