L-SHAPED BRACKET WITH ALIGNMENT ASSISTING PEEP HOLE
An L-shaped bracket includes a first leg and a second leg. The first leg is joined to the second leg at a bending-point. A first opening is formed in the first leg and a second opening is formed in the second leg. The first and second openings are each configured as a mounting opening to receive a mounting device for securing the L-shaped bracket to one or more structural members. The U-shaped bracket further includes a third opening formed at the bending point. The third opening is laterally centered between side edges of the bracket and is configured as a sighting opening allowing an installer to center the L-shaped bracket with respect to a centering mark made on the one or more structural members.
