National Hardware N800-023 Decorative Rafter Tie Angle

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N800-023 is a decorative 90-degree angle bracket designed for ornamental rafter tie applications in residential construction and finish carpentry. Formed at a true 90-degree angle, this bracket is pre-drilled for straightforward fastener placement and finished with a black powder coat that provides corrosion resistance. At 1-3/8 x 2 x 1-1/2 inches and weighing approximately 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight connector suited for visible, decorative framing accents. Mounting hardware is not included and must be sourced separately. This bracket is rated for decorative use only and is not intended as a structural load-bearing connector.

This bracket is commonly used in exposed timber framing aesthetics, pergola accents, decorative beam connections, and interior finish carpentry where a clean, dark metal look is desired. The black powder coat finish complements stained or painted wood surfaces in both residential interior and exterior decorative applications. Contractors, finish carpenters, and detail-oriented DIYers typically install this piece where visual consistency and a finished appearance matter as much as mechanical function.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by finish carpenters or general contractors using standard fasteners appropriate for the substrate material. Because this bracket is rated for decorative use only, it must not be used as a primary structural connector or load-bearing tie. Confirm fastener size and type against the wood species and thickness before installation. Mounting hardware is not included and should be selected to match the finish and application requirements.
