L3x2x3/8 (L3x2x.375) – L Shapes - Unequal Leg Angles

L3x2x3/8 is an unequal-leg angle with 3 in (76 mm) x 2 in (51 mm) legs, 3/8 in (10 mm) thick, weighing 5.9 lb/ft (8.8 kg/m).

Unequal leg angles have two legs of different sizes meeting at a right angle, which lets you place the longer leg where the span or connection needs it. They share the practical advantages of all angles: inexpensive, easy to cut, drill, bolt and weld, and useful wherever a structure needs bracing, a connection element or a lightweight framing member. The unequal geometry suits lintels over doors and windows, shelf angles, unequal-leg bracing, truss members and general fabrication work where one direction carries more load than the other.
