National Mfg N220-376 Galvanized Mending Brace 12x1-1/8 5-pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N220-376 is a hot-dipped galvanized mending brace used to reinforce, attach, connect, and splice structural panels and framing members. Measuring 12 inches in length by 1-1/8 inches in width, this flat strap-style brace provides a corrosion-resistant fastening solution suited for both interior and exterior applications. Hot-dipped galvanizing delivers a thick, durable zinc coating that resists rust in damp or outdoor environments. This bulk pack includes 5 braces per package, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple fastening points. Carpenters, contractors, and general tradespeople rely on this hardware for light structural and finish work.

The N220-376 mending brace is suited for residential and light industrial use where a flat, low-profile metal connector is needed to join or reinforce wood members, panels, or similar substrates. Common applications include furniture repair, cabinet reinforcement, framing splices, and panel attachment. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for utility areas, garages, basements, and outdoor structures where moisture exposure is likely. The bulk pack format supports production work or service vehicles stocked for frequent repairs.
