National Hardware N266-483 Corner Brace 3x3/4 Inch

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N266-483 is a flat corner brace designed to reinforce inside right-angle corner joints on wood and light-frame assemblies. The brace features countersunk screw holes that accept flat head screws, allowing fastener heads to sit flush with the surface for a clean, unobtrusive finish. Installation requires a pilot hole drilled with a 5/64-inch drill bit when driving wood screws. At 0.13 pounds, this is a lightweight hardware fitting suited for light-duty structural reinforcement tasks in shop, jobsite, or maintenance settings.

This corner brace is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where inside corner joints need additional rigidity. Typical uses include chests, window frames, screen frames, and furniture assembly or repair. The countersunk hole pattern keeps the fastener profile low, making it practical for finished surfaces where protruding hardware is not acceptable. Carpenters, finish tradespeople, and maintenance technicians regularly use this type of brace when reinforcing or rebuilding framed assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters or maintenance technicians using standard hand or power tools. Always drill a 5/64-inch pilot hole before driving wood screws to prevent splitting the wood substrate. Position the brace flush against the inside corner before fastening to ensure accurate joint alignment. Confirm the joint surfaces are square before securing the brace permanently.
