The Simpson A23 2 in. x 1-1/2 in. x 2-3/4 in. Galvanized Angle from Simpson is a dependable metal angle connector built to reinforce 90 deg. joints across a broad range of light-duty and structural home repair applications. Formed from 18-gauge steel and finished with a G90 zinc galvanized coating, this angle bracket holds corners straight and tight while delivering corrosion resistance suited for projects where moisture exposure is a concern. Whether you are reinforcing framing, repairing a fence, or securing shelving, this compact connector adds structural integrity that angled nailing or screw fastening alone simply cannot match.

Key Features

• Versatile connector for various 90 deg. connections and home repair projects - handles a wide variety of corner and joint applications, reducing the need for multiple connector types on a single job.
• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening alone - the bracket distributes load across both connected members, creating a more secure and reliable joint than fasteners driven at an angle.
• Helps ensure joints are consistently straight and strong - the rigid angle profile guides each corner to a true 90 deg. alignment, improving overall build quality and reducing callbacks or corrections.
• Made from 18-gauge steel - provides a practical balance of strength and workability, making the connector easy to fasten while still holding up under the demands of light-duty structural use.
• Galvanized with a G90 zinc coating - offers extra resistance against rust and corrosion, making this angle bracket a suitable choice for outdoor projects or areas where moisture is present.

Why This Product

• Built-in corrosion protection for demanding environments - the G90 zinc galvanized finish goes beyond basic plating, giving this steel angle bracket added durability in humid, wet, or outdoor conditions where uncoated hardware would quickly degrade.
• A smarter alternative to fastener-only corner connections - by mechanically tying two members together at a 90 deg. angle, this connector creates a stronger, more consistent joint than relying on toe-nailing or angled screws, which can shift or split wood over time.
• Trusted connector design from Simpson - Simpson offers a wide variety of angles in various sizes and thicknesses, and the A23 reflects that same engineering focus on making joints stronger and corners more consistently square.
• Compatible with common fasteners already on hand - installs with 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails or No. 9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws, so you can complete the connection without sourcing specialty hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fasteners should be used to install the Simpson A23 angle?

The A23 angle should be installed with 10d x 1-1/2 in. nails or #9 x 1-1/2 in. Strong-Drive SD screws for a proper and secure connection.

Is the Simpson A23 angle suitable for outdoor or moisture-exposed applications?

Yes. The A23 features a G90 zinc galvanized coating, which provides extra resistance against corrosion, making it appropriate for projects where moisture may be present.

What gauge steel is the Simpson A23 angle made from?

The Simpson A23 angle is made from 18-gauge steel, providing a reliable balance of strength and workability for light-duty and general home repair connections.

Why use a metal angle connector instead of just nailing or screwing at a corner joint?

Using the A23 angle connector creates a stronger connection than angled nailing or screw fastening alone, and it also helps ensure joints are consistently straight and square at 90 deg..
