Simpson Strong-tie A66 Structural Angle Bracket 5-7/8x5-7/8

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE A66 is a galvanized steel angle bracket engineered to reinforce 90-degree right-angle connections in wood framing and structural assemblies. Measuring 5-7/8 x 5-7/8 inches with a 1-1/2 inch width, this bracket fastens wood to wood and is designed to help resist lateral forces at the joint. It is a field-standard connector used across residential framing, rough carpentry, and light structural repair work. Licensed contractors and experienced carpenters rely on this type of hardware where code-compliant corner connections are required.

The A66 angle bracket is suited for residential construction, repair, and retrofit applications where right-angle wood connections require added strength. Typical installations include framing corners, post-to-beam connections, joist headers, and general wood-to-wood structural ties. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for interior framing and protected exterior assemblies. This bracket is sold individually and sized for applications where a mid-range angle connector is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed carpenters, framers, or general contractors. Power down any adjacent electrical systems and follow applicable building codes, including IRC framing requirements, before beginning structural connector work. Use fasteners appropriate for galvanized hardware to avoid accelerated corrosion at the connection point. Verify local code requirements for connector type, fastener schedule, and load ratings before installation.
