Simpson Strong Tie A66 Angle Bracket Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE A66 is a heavy-duty galvanized steel angle bracket engineered for structural wood-to-wood connections at 90-degree intersections. It is used in load-bearing framing applications where reliable lateral and vertical support is required at post, beam, and joist junctions. The bracket accepts two 3/8-inch diameter bolts at both the base and post faces, providing a secure mechanical connection. Its galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in exposed or treated-lumber environments. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors install this bracket as part of decks, pergolas, fences, and structural framing assemblies.

The A66 angle bracket is suited for residential and light commercial construction projects involving dimensional lumber connections. Common applications include deck post bases, beam-to-post connections, fence framing, and general carpentry reinforcement wherever a right-angle structural tie is needed. The bracket is sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for multi-connection framing jobs.
