2L7×4×3/8LLBB double angle
Detailing dimensions and section properties from the AISC Shapes Database, 16th Edition. Values are shown to the nearest 1/16 in. as they appear on a shop drawing.
2L7×4×3/8LLBB has a 7 in. long leg and a 4 in. short leg, 3/8 in. thick, in contact back to back.
It is a double angle set with its long legs back-to-back.
At 27.2 lb per foot it is the lightest of the 30 2L7×4 sizes, which run from 27.2 to 52.4 lb/ft.
For strong-axis bending its section modulus is Sx = 8.84 in³ and its moment of inertia Ix = 41 in⁴, with a plastic modulus Zx = 15.6 in³.
