As construction materials and techniques evolve, fastener design keeps pace with the changing technology. Fastener needs vary from project to project and the safety and life expectancy of the project can be extended based upon the fastener used. Fasteners have been designed to meet the special needs of projects such as roofing or drywall and in many cases are known by the application for which they are intended. Prime Guard Max fasteners stand the test of time.

Not only do angles make joints stronger, they also provide more consistent, straight corners. Simpson Strong-Tie offers a wide variety of angles in various sizes and thicknesses to handle light-duty jobs or projects where a structural connection is needed. Some can be bent (skewed) to match the project. For outdoor projects or those where moisture is present, use our ZMAX zinc-coated connectors, which provide extra resistance against corrosion (look for a "Z" at the end of the model number).

Simpson Strong Tie A24Z 2" x 3-7/8" Angle - Zmax Finish

Strong-Tie A angles provide a way to make a wide range of 90 degree connections. The Strong-Tie A24Z angle features a G185 ZMAX galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance and requires the use of hot-dip galvanized fasteners which meet the specifications of ASTM A153.

Simpson Strong-Tie A34Z FRAMING ANCHOR, 1-7/16"x 2-1/2"

Used to reinforce right angle connections. Fastens wood to wood. This product is made to help resist lateral forces. Great for home repair projects. 90 deg. angle. Galvanized steel. Some sizes available with ZMAX coating.

SIMPSON 4 X 4 ADJUSTABLE POST BA

The ABU is an adjustable post base which offers moisture protection and finished hardware appearance. Manufactured with ZMAX steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. These post bases feature a 1" stand-off height above concrete floors, code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to the weather, or water splash, or in basements. They reduce the potential for decay at post and column ends. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports). Place the standoff base and then the post in the ABU and fasten using nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws or bolts.

The GA angle is a small, versatile angle designed to improve corner stability. The engineered and tested gusset in the angle increases strength for lateral and uplift loads. The GA installs easily with nails, or for increased loads, with Strong-Drive Connector screws.

Simpson strong-tie offers a wide variety of angles in various sizes and thicknesses to handle light-duty jobs or projects where a structural connection is needed.

For outdoor projects or those where moisture is present, use our zmax zinc-coated connectors, which provide extra resistance against corrosion (look for a "z" at the end of the model number). 3-1/4 in. Length install with 10D common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-drive sd screws.

The LRUZ offers an economic alternative for those applications requiring a sloped hanger for rafter-to-ridge connections. Used with solid sawn rafters, the LRUZ's unique design enables the hanger to be installed either before or after the rafter is in place. The field-adjustable seat helps improve job efficiency by eliminating mismatched angles in the field and lead times associated with special orders. The LRUZ offers comparable or better load capacity to other rafter hangers at a reduced cost while using fewer fasteners.

The open design and ability to field-adjust the slope make the LRUZ ideal for both retrofit or new applications
Accommodates roof pitches from 0:12 to 14:12
Slopes up or down to 45-degrees (12:12) - for slopes greater than 45-degrees up to 49-degrees (14:12), allowable loads are 0.85 of table
loads
For added versatility, the fasteners on the face of the hanger are placed high enabling the bottom of the rafter to hang below the ridge beam
For nominal rafter sizes: 2x6, 2x8
Seat width: 1-9/16 in.
Made from 18-Gauge steel
ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
Install with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails, 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. nails or #10 x 1-1/2 in. or 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws
