Simpson Strong Tie APA4 90-degree Black Steel Angle Connector

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE APA4 is a 90-degree angle connector fabricated from steel with a black powder coat finish, designed for structural connections in outdoor and treated-wood applications. The powder coat provides corrosion resistance suitable for exterior environments. This connector is installed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors working on framing, post-to-beam connections, and similar structural assemblies. The APA4 ships in a package of 12 units, making it practical for project-scale purchasing. Compatible connector screws are sold separately and recommended for a complete installation.

The APA4 is suited for residential and light commercial outdoor construction projects including decks, pergolas, arbors, fences, and general wood framing where a 90-degree structural connection is required. Its black finish makes it appropriate where visible hardware is part of the design intent. It is intended for use with exterior-grade and pressure-treated lumber where corrosion-resistant hardware is specified.
