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

Simpson Strong-Tie ZMax 8.25 in. H x 8.25 in. W 12 Ga. Steel L Strap is a square, heavy-duty framing connector designed to deliver rock-solid right-angle joints in wood construction. Crafted from 12-gauge steel and finished with the corrosion-resistant ZMax coating, this L Strap is built to endure in exterior, damp, or coastal environments while maintaining precise, dependable performance over time.

What makes this L Strap stand out

  • Durable 12-gauge steel provides robust strength for demanding framing connections without excessive flex or distortion.
  • ZMax coating offers superior corrosion resistance, extending the life of your joints in challenging conditions.
  • 8.25 in. x 8.25 in. footprint gives ample coverage for secure right-angle connections in standard framing projects.
  • Trusted brand — Simpson Strong-Tie is a recognized name in structural connectors, delivering reliable performance for both professionals and serious DIY projects.

Ideal applications

Use this L Strap to reinforce corner connections in wood framing, joist-to-plate interfaces, and other right-angle assemblies where a strong, stable joint is essential. It’s well-suited for deck framing, retrofit projects, and framing where extra support is needed at interior or exterior connections.

Why choose ZMax over untreated steel

The ZMax finish provides enhanced durability in environments where rust is a concern, helping protect structural integrity over time. This makes it a smart choice for outdoor structures, basements, or areas with high humidity, where longevity matters as much as strength.

Installation considerations

For best results, align the strap with the intended corner, use appropriate fasteners per local building codes, and ensure the strap sits flush against the members. As with any structural connector, follow manufacturer guidelines and consult a professional for critical load-bearing applications.

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.
