Simpson Strong Tie MP24 Mend Plate 2x4 Framing

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE MP24 is a flat mending plate designed to reinforce, repair, and join wood members in framing and structural carpentry applications. At 2 inches by 4 inches, it provides a low-profile metal connector that bridges joints, corners, and splices to restore or add structural continuity. Sold in a package of 100 units, the MP24 is suited for volume work on framing crews, millwork shops, and general carpentry. Professional contractors and experienced woodworkers typically install these plates where a fast, reliable mechanical connection is needed without complex hardware.

The MP24 is used across residential and light commercial construction and repair work. Common applications include joining framing lumber at edges or ends, reinforcing cracked or broken frame members, and adding rigidity to corners on wood assemblies. Its compact footprint allows installation in tight spaces where larger connectors would not fit. The plate is appropriate for both interior rough framing and exterior structural repairs where a flat metal tie is the specified solution.
