Product Description
The Simpson 3-1/8 in. x 9 in. Tie Plate is a straightforward, dependable connector from Simpson engineered for splicing and reinforcing wood-to-wood connections on flat members. Formed from 20-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this flat tie plate handles everything from light repairs to routine structural connections with minimal fuss. Whether you are reinforcing a split member, splicing lumber end-to-end, or securing a miscellaneous wood joint, the TP series delivers a flush, surface-mounted solution that installs quickly and holds reliably.
Key Features
- Flat tie plate design for wood-to-wood connections - sits flush against flat lumber surfaces, making it ideal for splicing and miscellaneous connections where a low-profile connector is needed
- Staggered nail pattern - distributes fastener load across the wood member, reducing the risk of splitting during installation for a cleaner, more secure connection
- Available flat (TP) or with a flange (TPA) - gives you the flexibility to choose a flat plate for standard applications or a flanged version when added load resistance is required
- 20-gauge steel construction - provides the structural integrity needed for a wide range of light repair and general wood connection applications without unnecessary bulk
- G90 zinc galvanized finish - delivers enhanced corrosion resistance, making the plate suitable for use in environments where moisture exposure is a concern
