Simpson Strong Tie APDMW56 Decorative Washer Exterior

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE APDMW56 is a decorative washer designed for exterior fastening applications where both corrosion resistance and finished appearance matter. Constructed from galvanized steel with a black powder coat finish, it is built to handle outdoor exposure including contact with treated lumber and other exterior materials. This washer is a standard unit-of-measure each (EA) item, sold in packages of 24. It is commonly specified by contractors and deck builders who need a fastener component that holds up in the field without sacrificing a clean look at visible connection points.

The APDMW56 is suited for residential and light commercial exterior construction, including deck framing, pergola assembly, fencing, and landscaping structures. It performs well in applications involving pressure-treated wood, where standard steel fasteners may corrode prematurely. The black powder coat finish allows it to blend with dark hardware and finishes commonly used in modern outdoor builds.

• Black powder coat finish provides a clean appearance at visible fastener locations
• Compatible with treated wood and exterior-grade materials

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck builders, or general contractors as part of standard fastener assembly. Ensure the mating fastener and substrate material are compatible with the black powder coat finish to avoid galvanic corrosion. Do not use abrasive installation methods that may damage the powder coat surface. Follow applicable building codes for exterior fastener requirements in your jurisdiction.
