L2-1/2x1-1/2x1/4 (L2.5x1.5x.25) – L Shapes - Unequal Leg Angles

L2-1/2x1-1/2x1/4 is an unequal-leg angle with 2.5 in (64 mm) x 1.5 in (38 mm) legs, 1/4 in (6 mm) thick, weighing 3.19 lb/ft (4.7 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.
