The Simpson PGTIC2Z-R PGTIC ZMAX Galvanized Inside-Corner Pipe Grip Tie for 2 in. Pipe by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to securely attach wood fence rails to metal fence posts at interior corners. By combining the classic appearance of a wood fence with the long-term durability of galvanized steel posts, this inside-corner pipe grip tie helps eliminate the rot and post failures most common with all-wood fence construction, extending the overall life of your fence. The ZMAX galvanized coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for exterior and treated-wood applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pipe is the PGTIC2Z-R designed to fit?

The PGTIC2Z-R is designed to install on 2 in. (2-3/8 in. outside diameter) vertical pipes, offsetting corners to allow for the correct rail alignment.

What fasteners are needed to attach the PGTIC2Z-R to the fence rails?

The PGTIC attaches to rails with (4) 1/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. HDG Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are not included with the product.

Can the PGTIC2Z-R flanges be adjusted in the field to fit angled or corner conditions?

Yes. The PGT flanges can be field-bent to fit corner and angled conditions; however, they should be bent one time only to ensure a proper and reliable connection.

Why does the PGTIC2Z-R feature a ZMAX coating instead of standard galvanization?

ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized coatings, making the PGTIC2Z-R especially suited for exterior fence applications and installations involving treated-wood materials where moisture and chemical exposure are more likely.
