This is a staircase angle designed for structurally sound staircase framing. Model Number: TA10Z-R. If you are building exterior stairs, deck stairs, or replacement stair assemblies and want a cleaner, stronger wood-to-wood connection, this bracket is made for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe big advantage here is what it eliminates. Conventional stringer notching removes material from the stringer right where you need strength. The TA10Z-R is designed to reduce or eliminate that extra cutting, which helps keep more of the stringer intact. On the job, that means less layout complexity, less chance of overcutting, and a more consistent way to attach stair treads across the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSimpson builds this connector from 12-gauge steel, and that matters because stair hardware is not where you want thin metal or vague load path thinking. The 10-1\/4 inch length gives you a long bearing surface and multiple fastener locations, helping spread the connection across the framing instead of concentrating everything in one small spot. It is also useful for heavy-duty 90 degree connections where a narrow angle is needed, so it is not limited to stair work only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe TA10Z-R uses a ZMAX coating for added corrosion resistance, which makes it a better fit for decks, outdoor stairs, and other moisture-prone framing conditions than a basic interior-only connector. That does not mean any screw will do. Simpson specifically notes that the correct fasteners must be used to achieve published load values, and supplementary product data calls for hot-dip galvanized fasteners meeting ASTM A153 where applicable. In plain terms: match the fastener to the connector and the environment if you want the connection to perform the way it is supposed to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis connector is part of Simpson Strong-Tie's deck and fence connector lineup and is intended for wood-to-wood fastening. Published product information also notes kit versions of this angle are available with Simpson Strong-Drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws, which is useful if you want a matched hardware option from the same system. If you are buying the single TA10Z-R piece, verify your fastener plan before you start so you are not improvising at install time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Carpenters, deck builders, remodelers, and serious DIYers building exterior stairs or reinforcing stair framing. If your priority is a cleaner install, less stringer weakening, and a connector from a brand inspectors and contractors recognize, this is the right kind of hardware. If you are just looking for a cheap light-duty bracket, this is probably more connector than you need. But if the stairs matter, that is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProtect Stringer Strength\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/iadvymxxtq\/jpeg\/C_TA10Z_InstPho_Pho_Instld_StaircaseAngle-PTW_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie TA10Z-R Staircase Angle installed under wood stair treads on outdoor stair framing, showing wood-to-wood support on a deck staircase\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis is why guys use this style of stair connector in the first place.
