The Simpson Brick Tie High Performance 3in Gap is a field-ready masonry connector engineered by Simpson to reliably join brick veneer to wood-framed walls across airspaces from 2 in. to 3 in. Built from 22-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this high-performance tie is designed to hold up in exterior masonry applications where dependable corrosion resistance and structural integrity are non-negotiable. Its reversible design means it can be installed bent up or bent down, cutting down on guesswork and keeping crews moving efficiently on residential and commercial veneer projects alike.

Key Features

• High-Performance Engineered Design - Purpose-built and tested specifically for masonry veneer-to-wood connections, giving contractors confidence in structural performance on every installation.
• 2 in. to 3 in. Airspace Compatibility - Accommodates a range of veneer gap requirements on a single jobsite, reducing the need to stock multiple tie types for varying wall assemblies.
• Reversible Installation Orientation - Can be installed bent up or bent down, which minimizes installation errors and keeps work moving without stopping to verify orientation.
• 22-Gauge Steel with G90 Galvanized Finish - Delivers a robust level of corrosion resistance suited for exterior masonry environments, supporting long-term durability behind brick veneer.
• Compact 5-5/8 in. x 7/8 in. Profile - Right-sized for standard masonry veneer applications, fitting cleanly into mortar joints without requiring special handling or modification.

Why This Product

• Trusted Brand for Structural Connectors - Produced by Simpson, a name builders and contractors rely on for engineered structural connection solutions across masonry and wood-frame construction.
• Built-In Flexibility for Real Jobsite Conditions - The 2 in. to 3 in. airspace range and reversible orientation work together to handle varying field conditions without requiring callbacks or product swaps mid-project.
• Designed for Exterior Durability - The G90 galvanized coating provides meaningful corrosion protection in the demanding conditions behind brick veneer, where moisture exposure is an ongoing concern.
• Made in the United States - Domestically produced to consistent quality standards, supporting project specifications that require or prefer U.S.-origin construction hardware.
