L Feet with Hanger Bolts

L-shaped bracket used for right-angle support. A Hanger Bolt is a dual-threaded fastener with a wood screw on one end and a machine screw on the other. Combined, these components create a sturdy mounting solution for attaching objects to wooden surfaces.

Components & Materials:

• L-Foot:

• Material: Steel (for heavy loads), aluminum, or reinforced plastic.

• Features: Pre-drilled holes for bolts/nuts, often powder-coated for corrosion resistance.

• Hanger Bolt:

• Wood screw end: Bites into wood.

• Machine screw end: Accepts nuts/washers for securing the L-foot.

Installation Steps:

1. Prep Wood Surface:

• Drill a pilot hole in the wood (slightly smaller than the bolt's wood screw diameter).

2. Attach Hanger Bolt:

• Screw the wood-threaded end into the pilot hole using pliers or a wrench (protect threads with cloth).

3. Secure L-Foot:

• Slide the L-foot's hole onto the machine-threaded end.

• Fasten with a nut and washer. Tighten securely, but avoid stripping threads.

Key Considerations:

• Load Capacity: Match bolt/L-foot strength to the object's weight.

• Dimensions:

• Bolt length: Ensure wood screw penetrates deeply enough.

• L-foot size: Choose arm length based on support needed.

• Safety: Test stability before full use; add threadlocker for vibration-prone areas.
