The Simpson Strong-Tie 1212HLHDG is a heavy-gauge, L-shaped reinforcement strap engineered to create strong, reliable connections where the end of one structural member intersects the end of another at a 90 deg. angle. Fabricated from 7-gauge steel and finished with hot-dip galvanization (HDG) for superior corrosion resistance, this strap is built for demanding exterior and treated-wood applications. Measuring 12 in. x 12 in. with a 2-1/2 in. width, the 1212HLHDG delivers maximum load transfer performance when installed in pairs using 5/8 in. diameter bolts on members with a minimum size of 3-1/2 in.

Simpson Strong-Tie straps and plates join and reinforce joints with simple, versatile solutions for a wide range of connections. Available in many lengths, widths and thicknesses, straps can be used on the wide or narrow face of lumber for light repairs or heavy-duty projects. Many straps are designed to be used back-to-back on a piece of lumber without fastener interference.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fasteners are required to install the 1212HLHDG?

The 1212HLHDG should be installed with 5/8 in. diameter bolts. Additionally, the lumber members being connected must have a minimum size of 3-1/2 in. to accommodate proper installation.

Is this strap suitable for exterior or treated-wood applications?

Yes. The 1212HLHDG features hot-dip galvanization (HDG), which provides extra corrosion resistance specifically suited for exterior environments and applications involving treated wood.

Do I need more than one strap to make a strong connection?

While a single strap can reinforce a 90 deg. connection where the end of one member meets the end of another, the 1212HLHDG performs best and delivers maximum strength when used in pairs. Many straps in this line are also designed to be used back-to-back on a piece of lumber without fastener interference.

What are the dimensions and material specifications of the 1212HLHDG?

The 1212HLHDG measures 12 in. x 12 in. (height and length) with a strap width of 2-1/2 in. It is fabricated from 7-gauge steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating for durability in demanding applications.
