The Simpson Strong-Tie LS Skewable Reinforcing Framing Angle is a versatile, field-adjustable connector designed to strengthen intersecting framing members in wood construction. Unlike rigid angles, the LS series can be bent to accommodate a wide range of framing configurations, making it ideal for custom angles, skewed connections, and on-site adjustments.

Manufactured from durable steel and available in G90 galvanized for interior use and ZMAX galvanized for exterior or treated lumber applications, the LS angle provides dependable reinforcement where additional strength and flexibility are required. Whether you're reinforcing rafters, joists, studs, or beams, this adaptable angle delivers reliable support without overcomplicating installation.
