L-shaped rolled section with legs of equal length for bracing, supports and light framing.

**In short:** L-shaped rolled section with legs of equal length for bracing, supports and light framing. JJ Projects sources it to the specification the buyer names. Typical reference, standards: ASTM A36; general requirements ASTM A6/A6M.

## Specification references

- Standards: ASTM A36; general requirements ASTM A6/A6M
- Form: Hot-rolled angle, equal legs
- Size: Leg length, thickness and length as specified
- Documents: Material test report on request, such as EN 10204 type 3.1

> Typical references only. The governing specification is the one on your purchase order or datasheet.

## Typical uses

- Bracing and light framing
- Pipe, duct and equipment supports
- Frames and edge trim for platforms, grating and cover plates
- Brackets, lintels and stiffeners in fabrication

## What to include in a request

A request with these details can be quoted without a round of questions. Send what you have and we will ask for the rest.

1. Size as leg x leg x thickness, for example L4x4x1/4, or the metric equivalent
2. Grade, commonly ASTM A36, with the general requirements of ASTM A6/A6M
3. Length per piece and total quantity in pieces or tons
4. Cuts, holes, mitres or other fabrication
5. Finish: black, primed or hot-dip galvanized
6. Documents: material test report with heat numbers

## Questions

### How is the size of an angle written?

By the two leg lengths and the thickness, for example L4x4x1/4 for a 4 in by 4 in angle that is 1/4 in thick. For an unequal angle, both different leg lengths are listed, such as L5x3x1/2.

### What if my drawing calls for an unequal angle?

Unequal angles are a different catalogue shape with legs of different lengths. State the long leg first and the thickness, and say which leg is horizontal if it matters to the fabrication.
