Questions and Answers for Simpson Strong-Tie HL 5-3/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Galvanized Heavy Angle

A:  Good Afternoon Josh, I think your question is, "what is the sale quantity?" Correct? If so, it looks as though these are sold individually. Thanks, McKenzie

A:  Hello Sami, this is Stacy with Simpson Strong-Tie. We only have published loads for uplift and F1 forces for this product. HL33 has an allowable load of 740lbs of uplift and 1,040lbs of F1 load. If you wish to discuss this further please call us at (800) 999-5099. We look forward to speaking with you.

A:  The way that I was trained to do this is as follows: 1. First position the angle in the exact location needed and clamp tight with a C-clamp. 2. Next, take a black sharpie and trace the inside of both holes onto one side of the item to be drilled. 3. Next, remove the C-clamp and the angle. 4. Next, take a pointed punch and pound in a small indentation in the exact center of each traced hole. 5. Next, power drill a 1/8-inch drill bit through the item to be drilled at the punched indentation to create a pilot hole. 6. Next, get a drill bit the exact size of the existing holes in the angle and enlarge the pilot holes to full size. This process will give you the precise location, size and spacing required for a proper structural connection. The pilot holes will make it easier to drill the larger holes through.

A:  One way I’ve used is to start with a long, smaller drill bit and use a small speed square to line up. Go about 3/4 of the way thru (about 3 1/2” - 4” in your case and then come from the other side to join the holes. Then finish the hole with the appropriate sized bit. Hope that helps.

A:  It would be up to the Designer/Engineer of Record to specify the appropatie connector for the specific application based on framing layout, demand loads, local building codes, etc. Thank you!

A:  Typical bait and switch

A:  By the box you get 10...but open boxes you can buy individually....You would not have to buy 10...good luck

A:  The previous answer is completely incorrect. This only include 1 bracket. The price is $19 for one singular bracket.

A:  Yes, it includes 10 brackets.

A:  The distance from center-to-center on the bolt holes is 2 1/2". From edge of the part to the center line of the hole is 1 1/4" (both directions). Thank you!
