The Simpson A24Z 2 in. x 3-7/8 in. x 2-1/2 in. ZMAX Galvanized Angle is a 12-gauge steel connector built by Simpson to deliver dependable 90 deg. connections across a wide range of construction and home repair applications. Whether you are reinforcing framing joints, squaring up corners, or tackling projects where moisture or treated wood is a factor, this angle bracket combines structural strength with a ZMAX zinc-coated finish engineered for extra corrosion resistance - making it equally at home on interior builds and exposed exterior installations.

Key Features

• Versatile connector for various 90 deg. connections and home repair projects - adapts to a broad range of framing and repair tasks, reducing the need for multiple specialized brackets
• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone - adds mechanical reinforcement at the joint so the connection holds up under greater loads and stress
• Helps ensure joints are consistently straight and strong - the rigid angle form guides proper alignment, resulting in cleaner, more accurate corners every time
• Made from 12-gauge steel - provides a sturdy, reliable connection suitable for both light-duty jobs and projects requiring a structural connection
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications - the heavy-duty zinc coating stands up to moisture and the chemicals present in treated lumber, extending the service life of the connection

Why This Product

• Built for where conditions are toughest - the ZMAX zinc-coated finish is specifically engineered for outdoor environments and treated-wood applications where standard connectors are more vulnerable to corrosion and premature failure
• A structural upgrade over fasteners alone - by reinforcing 90 deg. joints beyond what angled nailing or screw fastening can achieve on its own, this angle bracket meaningfully improves the integrity of the overall assembly
• Consistent results on every joint - the fixed angle geometry takes the guesswork out of squaring corners, helping ensure that structural connections are straight and repeatable across an entire project
• Made in the United States from 12-gauge steel - the heavier gauge material delivers the durability needed for both everyday home repair work and demanding structural connection applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of finish does the A24Z have, and why does it matter?

The A24Z features a ZMAX zinc-coated finish, which provides extra resistance against corrosion. This makes it an ideal choice for outdoor projects or any application where moisture or treated wood is present.

What fasteners are required to install the A24Z?

Install with 10d common nails and 1/2 in. diameter bolts for a secure, code-appropriate connection.

Why use an angle connector instead of relying on nailing or screwing alone?

The A24Z angle connector is stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone. It also helps ensure that joints are consistently straight and strong, improving overall structural integrity at the connection point.

What gauge steel is the A24Z made from?

The A24Z is made from 12-gauge steel, providing a sturdy and reliable connection suitable for both light-duty jobs and projects requiring a structural connection.
