Product Description
The Simpson 1-13/16 in. x 5 in. 20-Gauge Galvanized Tie Plate from Simpson is a compact, reliable fastening plate built for splicing and reinforcing wood-to-wood connections on flat members. Fabricated from 20-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, this tie plate brings straightforward installation and dependable holding strength to a wide range of general framing, light repair, and wood connection applications.
Key Features
- Versatile tie plate design - handles splicing and miscellaneous wood-to-wood connections across a broad range of framing and repair tasks, reducing the need for multiple connector types on the job
- Optimized for flat member connections - the low-profile form factor fits flush against flat lumber surfaces, making it well-suited for reinforcing joints where a surface-mounted plate is the practical choice
- Staggered nail pattern - distributes fastener load across the wood member to resist splitting during and after installation, helping maintain a clean, secure connection over time
- 20-gauge steel construction - provides a reliable balance of strength and workability for light-duty to general-purpose structural connections without adding unnecessary bulk
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance that helps the plate hold up in general construction environments where moisture exposure is a concern
Why This Product
- Simple, tool-friendly installation - the tie plate accepts common nails or Strong-Drive SD screws, so crews can work with fasteners already on hand rather than sourcing specialty hardware
- Split-resistant fastening - the staggered nail pattern is specifically engineered to protect the wood member during installation, reducing the risk of callbacks or connection failure from splitting
- Corrosion protection built in - the G90 zinc galvanized finish adds a layer of durability that keeps the plate performing in environments where bare steel would be vulnerable to rust and degradation
- Trusted Simpson engineering - designed and produced in the United States as part of Simpson's broad line of straps and plates, the TP15 reflects the same commitment to versatile, code-friendly connector solutions found across the Simpson product family
