The MiTek Galvanized Steel Truss Mending Plate is a critical piece of hardware for fast, dependable structural repairs to wood trusses and framing members. When you handle this plate, you immediately feel the firm, 20 gauge thickness and the sharpness of the numerous embedded teeth. It performs by spanning a damaged joint or cut, with the teeth pressing deep into the wood on both sides to create a rigid, highly reliable connection that resists separation and twisting. Its primary benefit is providing a rapid, field-ready solution for reinforcing or mending timber joints, all while offering the strong corrosion resistance of galvanized steel for long-term structural integrity.

Additional Information
When using this mending plate, it is vital to apply force evenly across the entire plate to ensure all teeth embed fully and simultaneously; using a specialized truss press or a large block of wood and a heavy sledgehammer is recommended over direct hammering. Always use these plates in pairs, securing one on each side of the mended timber joint to achieve maximum structural integrity and prevent the joint from rocking. This plate is best used for straight mends, not for joining pieces at an angle.
