N266-471 T-plate, Black Steel, 6 X 1-1/2 In.

The National Hardware T-Plate is a steel mending plate designed to reinforce and support the joining of structural beams in construction and repair applications. This black powder-coated plate connects cross beams to support beams when mounted to the side of the joint, providing the strong lateral support needed for outdoor structures. The straightforward fastening method using bolts or nails reduces labor and speeds up construction work.

For maximum strength and durability, install T-plates on both sides of the joint with through bolts. The compact 6-inch by 1-1/2-inch size delivers robust support without excess bulk, while the powder-coat finish provides excellent weather resistance for outdoor applications. This plate is ideal for building decks, pergolas, sheds, and other outdoor structures where strong beam connections are required.
