The Simpson Heavy Shear Transfer Angle is an engineered structural connector built to transfer lateral loads from wood solid sawn joists or blocking into a wood solid sawn element such as a moment frame nailer. Fabricated from 12-gauge steel with a Zinc Galvanized (G90) finish, this heavy shear transfer angle is designed for demanding in-plane lateral force resistance in structural framing applications. A built-in gap indication notch simplifies alignment, and all required Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws are included so the connector is ready to install right out of the box.

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 versatility for real-world framing conditions where structural members are not in direct contact.
• Resists in-plane lateral forces - provides reliable shear transfer performance where racking and lateral loads must be controlled in wood-framed assemblies.
• Installs with included Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws - no separate fastener sourcing required, keeping the installation process straightforward and efficient.
• 12-gauge steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for heavy shear transfer applications without adding unnecessary bulk to the connection.
• Zinc Galvanized (G90) coating - provides durable corrosion resistance suited for the demands of structural connector applications.

Why This Product

• Complete, ready-to-install package - the angle ships with all ten required 1/4 in. x 2-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws included, so there are no extra trips to source fasteners before work can begin.
• Built-in alignment feature reduces installation error - the gap indication notch takes the guesswork out of positioning the connector, making accurate placement faster and more consistent for installers.
• Engineered flexibility for common framing gaps - support for up to a 2 in. gap between structural members means this shear transfer angle works in a wider range of framing situations, including moment frame nailer connections that may not allow tight member contact.
• Purpose-built for lateral load transfer in wood framing - designed specifically to resist in-plane lateral forces between wood solid sawn joists, blocking, and nailer elements, making it a direct solution for shear transfer details that general hardware cannot reliably address.
