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 ZMax 10 in. rigid tie connector is purpose-built to create stiff, load-ready joints in wood framing. With a tall 10" profile and a broad 1.56" width, this connector delivers the leverage and bearing needed to secure critical connections in walls, roofs, and other structural applications.

Crafted from galvanized steel and finished with Simpson’s ZMax coating, it stands up to the realities of exterior and damp environments. The 18-gauge construction strikes the right balance between rigidity and workability, giving you a dependable connector that won’t sag under load while still being straightforward to install on site.

Why this rigid tie matters in your project

  • Corrosion-resistant performance — ZMax coated galvanized steel provides extended longevity in outdoor, humid, or coastal-style framing environments.
  • Sized for confidence — 10" height and 1.56" width create a substantial footprint for strong, stable connections.
  • Durable yet practical — 18-gauge steel delivers robust support without excessive weight, speeding up installation on job sites.
  • Trusted brand — manufactured by Simpson Strong-Tie, a leader in structural connectors with a long track record of reliable performance.

Ideal applications and use cases

  • Framing connections where a rigid tie strengthens resistance to lateral movement and pull-out in wood structures.
  • Exterior wall assemblies, roof-to-wall intersections, and other joints that require dependable, code-compliant fasteners.
  • Retrofit or new construction projects that demand a proven, long-lasting connection with predictable performance.

Installation considerations

  • Pair with the appropriate joist fasteners recommended for this connector to ensure optimal load transfer.
  • Align precisely with framing members before fastening to achieve a true, rigid connection.
  • Follow local building codes and project specifications to verify suitability for your specific load requirements.

Choose the ZMax 10 in. rigid tie connector for a sturdy, durable, and corrosion-ready solution that reinforces structural integrity across a variety of wood framing projects. It’s a practical, high-value choice for builders who demand performance and longevity from their hardware—season after season.

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.
