Product Description
The Simpson 4-1/8 in. x 9 in. 20-Gauge Galvanized Tie Plate from Simpson is a straightforward, dependable connector built for splicing and reinforcing wood-to-wood connections on flat members. Constructed from 20-gauge steel with a G90 zinc galvanized finish, this tie plate handles everything from light repairs to more demanding structural connections with the kind of reliable performance that comes from a purpose-engineered design.
Key Features
- Versatile tie plate for splicing and miscellaneous wood-to-wood connections - handles a wide range of flat-member joining tasks without requiring specialized hardware or complex installation steps
- Optimized for reinforcing wood-to-wood connections on flat members - keeps the plate flush and stable against the lumber surface for a clean, secure fit
- Staggered nail pattern - distributes fastener load across the wood grain to help resist splitting during and after installation, protecting the integrity of the joint
- 20-gauge steel construction - provides a balance of strength and workability suited to both light repair and general structural connection applications
- G90 zinc galvanized coating - delivers extra corrosion resistance so the plate holds up reliably in moisture-prone environments and outdoor framing conditions
- 4-1/8 in. nominal width and 9 in. length - sized to bridge typical lumber joints with sufficient bearing area on each member for a secure, lasting connection
Why This Product
- Engineered to resist splitting at the joint - the staggered nail pattern is specifically designed to reduce splitting risk during fastener installation, which protects both the lumber and the connection over the long term
- Compatible with multiple fastener types - installs with 0.131 in. x 2-1/2 in. nails, 0.131 in. x 1 1/2 in. nails, or No. 9 Strong-Drive SD screws, giving you flexibility to use the fasteners already on the job
- Corrosion-resistant finish built for real-world conditions - the G90 zinc galvanized coating goes beyond basic protection, making this tie plate a dependable choice for applications where exposure to moisture is a concern
