Simpson Strong Tie 66L L Strap Tie 6x6 in 14 Gauge Steel

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE 66L is a galvanized steel L strap tie designed to reinforce right-angle intersections in wood framing assemblies. Fabricated from 14 gauge steel with a G90 galvanized coating, it provides corrosion resistance suited for both interior and exposed structural applications. The connector measures 6 inches by 6 inches and is fastened using eight 16D nails or 3-1/2 inch bolts, making installation straightforward with standard hand or power tools. Structural carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this connector wherever L-shaped framing junctions require added load transfer and lateral support.

The 66L is suited for residential and light commercial wood framing projects where L-intersections occur at wall plates, headers, posts, and beam connections. It is typically installed in pairs to maximize shear transfer and connection strength at the joint. The G90 galvanized finish makes it appropriate for use in treated lumber applications and moderately corrosive environments. Framers and structural contractors commonly specify this connector on new construction and renovation projects requiring code-compliant connection hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified framer or structural contractor in accordance with applicable building codes and the project structural drawings.
