This is a hurricane gusset angle designed for fastening wood-to-concrete or wood-to-masonry connections. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eHGAM10KTA\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are building or reinforcing roof and wall framing where uplift and side loading matter, this connector is doing a very specific job that standard angles are not meant to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe big story here is the formed gusset in the angle. That gusset is what gives the HGAM its added strength for lateral and uplift loads, instead of relying on a flat angle alone. In practical terms, that means a better load path between the wood framing and the masonry support below, which is exactly what you want when the structure is dealing with wind pressure or seismic movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis kit version matters because it is not just the connector by itself. Simpson packages the HGAM10KTA with the required screw types for the intended connection: Strong-Drive SDS screws for the wood side and Titen Turbo masonry screws for the masonry side. That saves time during material takeoff and helps avoid mismatching fasteners with the connector. The Strong-Drive SDS screws are called out as high-strength structural screws with a Type-17 point that installs without predrilling, which speeds up installation on the wood side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eMaterial and finish are straightforward and important. The connector is made from \u003cstrong\u003e14 gauge steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003eZinc Galvanized G90\u003c\/strong\u003e coating. That gives the bracket the stiffness you want in a structural connector and a corrosion-resistant finish suited to protected applications. Simpson also notes that the Titen Turbo screws should not be exposed to the exterior environment, so installation location and detailing matter here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eOn sizing, this model is a compact connector at roughly \u003cstrong\u003e3-1\/2 inches wide, 3 inches high, and 3 inches deep\u003c\/strong\u003e. That makes it easier to place at the base of a framing member without taking up unnecessary room, while still giving you the footprint needed for the specified screw pattern. The installation illustration also shows that the masonry attachment is intended for grout-filled CMU with a minimum one number 5 horizontal rebar in the course, which is a real-world detail worth paying attention to before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJobsite practicality is good as long as you use it the way Simpson intends. The connector attaches using hex-head Titen Turbo screws on the masonry side, and Simpson specifically says to use all specified fasteners. Just as important, hurricane ties like this do not replace solid blocking. That is a useful reminder because connectors work best as part of a complete assembly, not as a shortcut around framing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis HGAM kit is best suited for builders, framers, general contractors, and remodelers working on wood framing tied into masonry or concrete. It is especially relevant in regions where code and common sense both push you toward stronger uplift-resistant connections. If you need a clean, purpose-built connector for a gable end truss or similar framing condition, this is the kind of part you buy because it solves a specific structural connection problem without guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Masonry Tie-Down Work\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\/hzmkfr46n3\/jpeg\/C_HGAM10_InstIll_Ill_Instld_HurricaneGussetAngle-Masonry_CY.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie HGAM10KTA HGAM Hurricane Gusset Angle for Masonry with Screws installed at the base of wood framing on a concrete masonry wall with rebar in a structural connection detail\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis is not a generic corner bracket.
