Product Description
The Simpson Heavy Shear Transfer Angle is engineered to transfer lateral loads from wood solid sawn joists or blocking into a wood solid sawn element such as a moment frame nailer. Built from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, this heavy-duty connector angle delivers dependable in-plane lateral force resistance for demanding structural framing applications. A gap indication notch and included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws make proper alignment and installation straightforward from the start.
Key Features
- Built-in gap indication notch - guides correct positioning during installation, reducing the chance of misalignment and saving time on the job.
- Accommodates up to a 2 in. gap between framing members - adds flexibility when structural members cannot be placed flush, making this angle suitable for a wider range of framing conditions.
- Resists in-plane lateral forces - provides reliable shear transfer at joist-to-nailer connections, helping maintain structural integrity under lateral loading.
- Includes (18) 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - everything needed for a complete installation arrives in one package, eliminating a separate trip to source compatible fasteners.
- 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength required for shear transfer connections in solid sawn lumber framing.
- Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish - provides a layer of corrosion resistance to help extend the service life of the connector in exposed or moisture-prone framing environments.
Why This Product
- A complete, job-ready assembly - the angle ships with the correct SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws already included, so installers have everything on hand to complete the shear transfer connection without sourcing additional hardware.
- Designed for real-world framing tolerances - the ability to span up to a 2 in. gap between structural members means this connector works even when framing conditions are not perfectly tight, reducing the need for costly adjustments in the field.
- Alignment built into the connector itself - the gap indication notch takes the guesswork out of positioning, helping ensure every installation meets the design intent without extra measuring or layout steps.
- Heavy-gauge steel with protective coating - the combination of 12-gauge steel and G90 galvanized finish means this shear angle is built to handle significant lateral loads while resisting the corrosion that can compromise connector performance over time.
