In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Simpson Strong-Tie Avant 10.5 in. H x 5 in. W 12 Ga. steel T Strap is a purpose-built joist connector designed to reinforce wood-frame assemblies with dependable load transfer and lasting stability. Built for serious framing work, this Avant T Strap anchors floor and roof joists to beams, helping you achieve a more rigid, durable structure from the ground up.

Key advantages

  • 12-gauge steel construction delivers solid strength and reliable performance under typical framing loads.
  • Generous dimensions — 10.5 in. tall by 5 in. wide provide ample bearing area for effective load distribution and easier alignment during installation.
  • Avant sub-brand brings a modern, engineered solution within Simpson Strong-Tie’s trusted connector lineup, tailored for contemporary framing projects.
  • Joist-to-beam connection formulated to resist uplift and prevent lateral movement, contributing to sustained floor and roof stability.
  • Code-conscious installation designed to work with Simpson Strong-Tie-approved fasteners and practices. Always follow local code requirements and project specifications.
  • Professional-grade framing hardware ideal for contractors, remodelers, and serious DIYers seeking durable, long-lasting structural reinforcement.

Ideal use cases

Use this T Strap when you need to reinforce joist hangers, retrofit existing framing, or build new floor and roof assemblies where reliable load transfer is essential. Its size and strength make it a practical choice for mid-span wood framing and applications that require a discrete, robust connector rather than broader wrap-around solutions.

Installation tips

  • Plan fastener placement according to local code and the connector’s load requirements.
  • Position the strap so the load path from the joist to the beam is direct and continuous.
  • Use only Simpson Strong-Tie-approved fasteners and follow the installation guidance provided for this product.

Availability note: Sold through authorized channels and not offered via third-party marketplaces, in line with distributor policies.

Ready to reinforce your framing with a proven, reliable T Strap? Add this Simpson Strong-Tie Avant 10.5 in. x 5 in. 12 Ga. steel T Strap to your cart and secure your next project with confidence.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
