The Simpson A33 3 in. x 3 in. x 1-1/2 in. Galvanized Angle is a 12-gauge steel connector from Simpson built to reinforce 90 deg. joints across a wide range of construction and home repair applications. Where angled nailing or screw fastening alone can leave a connection weak or misaligned, this angle bracket ties members together with greater structural strength while keeping corners consistently straight and square. The G90 zinc galvanized finish adds a meaningful layer of corrosion resistance, so the connector holds up reliably in outdoor settings and moisture-prone environments alike.

Key Features

• Versatile 90 deg. connector - works across a broad range of framing, repair, and general construction joints, reducing the need for multiple specialty fasteners
• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone - the bracket distributes load across the connection point, resulting in a more secure and durable joint
• Promotes consistently straight and strong corners - the rigid angle profile acts as a guide, helping prevent skewed or uneven joints during assembly
• Made from 12-gauge steel - the heavier gauge provides the rigidity needed for structural connections without adding unnecessary bulk
• G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers extra corrosion resistance, making this angle bracket a dependable choice for outdoor projects or areas exposed to moisture

Why This Product

• Engineered for joint integrity - unlike relying solely on nails or screws driven at an angle, this connector reinforces the connection mechanically, giving framing and repair joints lasting strength they would otherwise lack
• Built for wet and outdoor conditions - the G90 galvanized coating is specifically suited to environments where moisture is a factor, so the bracket resists corrosion over time without requiring additional treatment
• Trusted Simpson construction - the A33 is manufactured in the United States and reflects the same attention to dimensional consistency and material quality that makes Simpson angle connectors a go-to choice for contractors and serious DIYers
• Straightforward installation with common fasteners - the bracket installs with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws, fitting into standard workflows without requiring specialized tools or hardware

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fasteners are required to install the A33 angle?

Install with 10d common nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws for a secure connection.

Is the A33 suitable for outdoor or moisture-prone applications?

Yes. The A33 features a G90 zinc galvanized finish, which provides extra corrosion resistance and makes it appropriate for outdoor projects or environments where moisture is present.

Why use an angle connector instead of just nailing or screwing at an angle?

The A33 angle connector is stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone, and it helps ensure joints are consistently straight and strong, improving both the structural integrity and the quality of the finished connection.

What are the dimensions of the A33 angle?

The A33 measures 3 in. x 3 in. with a length of 1-1/2 in., and is made from 12-gauge steel.
