Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N220-343 is a hot dipped galvanized steel mending brace designed for reinforcing, attaching, connecting, and splicing wood panels and structural members. Measuring 6 inches in length and 3/4 inches in width, this flat strap brace provides a straightforward mechanical connection across joints and seams. The hot dipped galvanizing process delivers a corrosion-resistant coating suited for both interior and exterior applications. Each package contains 5 pieces. Installation requires only basic hand tools, making this hardware appropriate for contractors, carpenters, maintenance technicians, and experienced DIYers working on structural repair or assembly tasks.

This mending brace is used in residential and light industrial settings where panels, boards, or framing members need to be joined end-to-end or reinforced at a break point. Common applications include fence repair, furniture assembly, cabinet work, crate construction, and general structural splicing. The bulk pack of 5 units is practical for jobs requiring multiple connections or ongoing maintenance work. The galvanized finish extends service life in outdoor or high-humidity environments where bare steel hardware would corrode prematurely.
