National Mfg N351-461 Mending Brace 24 Inch Black Steel

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N351-461 is a flat mending brace used to reinforce, attach, connect, align, and splice structural materials in repair and construction applications. Fabricated from powder coated steel in a black finish, this brace measures 24 inches in length and 1.5 inches in width with a thickness of 0.25 inches. The powder coat finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and light-duty exterior use. Carpenters, general contractors, and maintenance technicians use this type of hardware for wood joinery, framing repairs, and material alignment tasks where a low-profile flat brace is required.

This mending brace is suited for residential and light commercial repair work. Common applications include reinforcing cracked or split lumber, splicing two boards end to end, and securing structural connections in framing, furniture repair, and cabinet work. The flat profile allows it to sit flush against the surface. This product is packaged loose and sold in a box quantity of 5 pieces per unit of measure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Fasten the brace to the work surface using appropriate fasteners for the base material — fastener type and size should be selected based on load requirements and material thickness. Ensure both mating surfaces are flush and aligned before fastening. No power disconnection is required for this mechanical hardware application.
