The A24 is Simpson Strong-Tie's general-purpose angle for 90° wood-framing connections that don't call for a load-rated hanger. It's 12-gauge galvanized steel, sized 3-7/8 in. x 2 in. with a 2-1/2 in. wide leg. The base takes a 1/2 in. machine bolt; the post connection takes either a 1/2 in. machine bolt or two 10d nails, so it suits bolted ledger connections and nailed stud connections alike. Simpson does not publish a load rating for the A24. Use it for general framing, not as a substitute for an engineered connector where a rated capacity is required. Features and Common Uses 12-gauge galvanized steel for general corrosion resistance Bolts through the base; bolts or nails through the post connection General-purpose angle rather than a load-rated hanger Commonly used for: General 90° framing connections Light post-to-beam and ledger connections Repair and retrofit framing where a specialty connector isn't available Specifications Product Specifications Brand Simpson Strong-Tie Model A24 Material 12-gauge steel Finish Galvanized Width 1 3-7/8 in. Width 2 2 in. Length 2-1/2 in. Base Fasteners (1) 1/2 in. machine bolt Post Fasteners (1) 1/2 in. machine bolt or (2) 10d nails No published load table for the A24. If the connection needs an engineered capacity, use one of Simpson's rated angles (A21, A23, A33 or A44) instead. Frequently Asked Questions What's the difference between the A24 and a rated angle?The A24 has no published load rating, so it's for general framing rather than an engineered connection. Where the application needs a rated capacity, use one of Simpson's rated angles instead.Can I use nails instead of the bolt?The post connection accepts either a 1/2 in. machine bolt or two 10d nails. The base connection is bolt-only.Is it available in stainless steel?Some angles in this family are available in stainless steel or ZMAX coating for corrosion-prone locations.
