Single-Sided Toothed Plate for Enhanced Timber Joint Performance

The Simpson Strong-Tie SSTC50 Single-Sided Timber Connector is engineered to strengthen bolted timber joints by increasing their load-bearing performance. With precision-formed teeth that embed into the wood surface, it prevents slippage and distributes load more evenly. Manufactured from 1.0mm pre-galvanised mild steel, it offers both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability in timber construction.
