National Mfg N272-732 Zinc Mending Plate 4x5/8 in 20 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N272-732 is a zinc mending plate used to reinforce, splice, and repair flat wood joints in structural and finish carpentry applications. Measuring 4 inches by 5/8 inches, this flat metal plate provides a simple, reliable method of bridging cracked or split lumber, reinforcing butt joints, and securing frame members. The zinc construction resists corrosion in typical interior conditions. Each bulk pack contains 20 plates, making it practical for contractors and maintenance technicians who need consistent hardware on hand for repetitive fastening tasks.

This mending plate is suited for light-duty structural reinforcement in residential and light commercial woodworking. Common applications include cabinet framing, furniture repair, fence rail splicing, and general millwork. The flat profile allows the plate to sit flush against the work surface, keeping finished assemblies clean and tight. Installers working in volume will find the 20-count bulk pack reduces trips to the supply house during active projects.

Installation Notes

Mending plates are typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians using standard wood screws or nails appropriate for the lumber thickness. Position the plate centered over the joint or crack before fastening to ensure even load distribution across both members. Always select fasteners rated for the load requirements of the application. Follow applicable building codes when using mending plates in structural assemblies.
