The Simpson ABR9020 ABR 3-7/16 in. x 2-9/16 in. Angle Bracket for Cross-Laminated Timber is a heavy-gauge steel connector from Simpson engineered specifically to join cross-laminated timber (CLT) wall panels to CLT floors or concrete slabs. Built for the structural demands of CLT construction, this angle bracket accommodates a wide variety of fastener and anchor options to suit different load requirements and application conditions, making it a dependable choice for timber panel assemblies.

Key Features

• Loads provided for screws or power-actuated nails - gives installers the flexibility to select the fastening method that best matches their tools, workflow, and load requirements on site.
• All load directions addressed - engineered to handle forces from multiple directions, so the connection point remains secure under the complex loading conditions common in CLT structural systems.
• Heavy gauge provides high load capacity - the bracket is built to carry demanding structural loads, reducing the need for supplemental hardware in standard CLT panel connections.
• Made from 14-gauge steel - the thick steel construction delivers structural integrity and long-term durability in load-bearing timber applications.
• Galvanized for extra corrosion resistance - the Zinc Galvanized, G90 coating and finish protect the bracket against moisture and environmental exposure, extending service life in demanding construction environments.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for CLT construction - designed specifically to connect cross-laminated timber wall panels to CLT floors or concrete slabs, this bracket addresses the precise structural requirements of modern mass timber panel assemblies rather than serving as a generic connector.
• Versatile fastener compatibility - accommodating CNA nails, SD screws, and standard nails, the bracket adapts to a range of installation methods so crews can work efficiently without being locked into a single fastener type.
• Structural performance across all load directions - with loads addressed for every direction and a high-capacity 14-gauge steel body, this bracket delivers reliable, predictable performance at the wall-to-floor and wall-to-slab interface.
• Corrosion-resistant finish for lasting durability - the G90 zinc galvanized coating provides an added layer of protection, making this CLT angle bracket a sound long-term investment in structural connections exposed to moisture or variable site conditions.
