The A23 is one of Simpson Strong-Tie's A-Series framing angles \u2014 a short, formed steel angle bent to 90 degrees and punched with fastener holes on both legs. It is set into the inside corner of a wood-to-wood joint and nailed or screwed through both faces, so the connection is carried by fasteners loaded in shear through steel rather than by toe-nailed fasteners alone.

Angles of this kind are used wherever two framing members meet at a right angle and the joint needs mechanical reinforcement or simply needs to stay square: blocking to joists, nailers to plates, studs to sills, and repairs to joints that have opened up. Because the angle fastens from the face of the corner, it installs into existing framing as readily as into new work, with no need to take the assembly apart.

Fastener type, quantity and allowable loads for a given model are published by Simpson Strong-Tie, and the connector should be installed with the specified fasteners in the specified holes. Sold individually.
