It is a single piece of sheet steel bent to 90 degrees, with fastener holes punched through both legs so the angle can be nailed or screwed to two members meeting at a right angle. It is the kind of connector used wherever a butted or lapped wood joint needs a metal tie rather than relying on end-grain fastening alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Z suffix in the model number identifies the ZMAX galvanized version of the A21 angle, a zinc-coated finish for jobs where the connector will see moisture or will bear against treated lumber, which is corrosive to bare steel. Zinc coating on a connector works sacrificially, corroding in place of the steel beneath it, and is the standard choice for exterior and damp-location framing hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngles of this type are installed singly, in pairs on opposite faces of a joint, or in a repeating pattern along a run of blocking. Fasteners should fill the punched holes as the manufacturer's installation instructions direct, since the holes are sized and placed for a specific fastener rather than for whatever is on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormed steel angle bent to 90 degrees for connecting two framing members that meet at a right angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZMAX galvanized finish, the zinc-coated version of the A21 angle indicated by the Z suffix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastener holes punched through both legs so the connector can be fixed to each member independently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalvanized coating protects the steel in damp locations and in contact with preservative-treated lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical form that can be installed in either orientation, or in opposing pairs on both faces of a joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls with nails or screws driven through the punched holes, with no drilling or welding required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as an individual connector rather than in a carton quantity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTying wood framing members together where they meet at a right angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastening blocking, nailers and short cripples to studs, plates and joists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforcing butted corner joints in box framing, shelving and built-in casework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExterior and damp-location wood framing where galvanized connectors are called for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnections against preservative-treated lumber, where uncoated steel is not appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepair and reinforcement of existing wood joints that have opened or pulled loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing furring, cleats and small framing assemblies to structural members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simpson Strong-Tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e A21Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e A-Series Angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Framing connector, 90-degree angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e ZMAX galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSimpson Strong-Tie\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Simpson Strong-Tie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55112695710035,"sku":"707392916604","price":0.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/simpson-strong-tie-a21z-zmax-galvanized-angle-707392916604.webp?v=1790734513","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-a21z-zmax-galvanized-angle-707392916604","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
