Simpson Strong-Tie A88 8x8 Reinforcing Framing Angle Bracket - G90 Galvanized
Specifications
The Simpson Strong-Tie A Reinforcing Framing Angle Bracket is designed to strengthen and stabilize 90-degree wood-to-wood connections in structural framing applications. Whether you're reinforcing a wall intersection, bracing a corner, or adding strength to a framing joint, these angles provide reliable load transfer and long-term performance.
Manufactured from durable steel, select models (A21, A21Z, A23, and A23Z) are formed from 18-gauge steel for standard reinforcement applications, while the remaining sizes are constructed from heavier 12-gauge steel for higher load demands. Available in G90 galvanized for light corrosion protection for interior and covered exterior applications or ZMAX finish for enhanced corrosion resistance in exterior applications. Engineered for versatility, the A series framing angles feature pre-punched fastener holes for quick installation and consistent fastening patterns. Whether you're a contractor framing a home or a DIYer reinforcing a project, these brackets deliver dependable structural reinforcement where it matters most.
