L2-1/2x2-1/2x3/16 (L2.5x2.5x.1875) – L Shapes - Equal Leg Angles
L2-1/2x2-1/2x3/16 is an equal-leg angle with 2.5 in (64 mm) legs, 3/16 in (5 mm) thick, weighing 3.07 lb/ft (4.6 kg/m).
Equal leg angles are one of the simplest and most versatile structural sections, with two legs of the same size meeting at a right angle. Their simplicity is their strength: angles are inexpensive, easy to cut, drill, bolt and weld, and useful almost anywhere a structure needs bracing, a connection element or a lightweight framing member. Common applications include diagonal bracing, truss web members, framing clips and connection angles, ladder and frame components, and general-purpose fabrication work where a full I-shaped or channel section would be unnecessary.
