Simpson Strong Tie APDJT2-4 Joist Tie 3 Inches Black

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE APDJT2-4 is a 3-inch black powder-coated joist tie designed to provide structural connections in wood-framed outdoor construction. The black powder-coat finish delivers corrosion resistance suited to exposed exterior environments such as decks, pergolas, and similar open-air structures. This connector is sold in a package of 24 units and is installed by framers, deck builders, and structural carpenters who require a reliable, code-acceptable metal connector for joist-to-beam or joist-to-ledger connections. The finish also provides a finished appearance where the hardware will remain visible.

This joist tie is suited to residential and light commercial wood-frame applications where exposed hardware is common, including deck framing, pergola construction, and outdoor structural assemblies. The 3-inch size targets standard dimensional lumber joist widths. Compatible structural wood screws and hex head washer fasteners are sold separately and complete the mechanical connection while contributing to a reinforced visual appearance at the joint.
