National Hardware N351-454 Mending Plate, Black Steel, 3 In. X 1.3 In.

This National Hardware mending plate is a steel reinforcement bracket designed to strengthen miter joint connections and create sturdy 90-degree angles in woodworking and construction projects. When two pieces of wood meet at a miter joint, the connection can be weak without proper support. This mending plate reinforces the joint and helps prevent splitting.

The black powder-coated steel construction offers a weather-resistant finish. The 45-degree hole pattern allows flexible installation options, and the plate accommodates either nails or bolt fastening depending on your project needs.

Features and Benefits

• 45-Degree Hole Pattern: Nail holes are angled at 45 degrees to ensure a tight fit without splitting the wood and provide flexible installation options.
• Dual Fastening Options: Accommodates either 2 nails per side or clearance for a 5/16-inch bolt, giving you flexibility in how you secure the joint.
• Black Powder-Coated Finish: The finish provides improved weather resistance for outdoor and exposed applications.
• Precise Dimensions: At 3 inches long by 1.3 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick, the plate is sized for reliable reinforcement of standard miter joints.
• Easy Installation: The angled hole pattern and compact design facilitate straightforward installation.
