Clamps & Brackets

Angle Brackets

Definition:
An angle bracket is a fastener that is designed to hold two perpendicular parts together in an assembly and to strengthen the angle. Angle brackets are also known as mounting brackets and terminal brackets.

Angle brackets are available in the following materials and finishes:

  • Cold Rolled Steel (Steel): Black Oxide, Cadmium types I & II, Chrome, Degreasing, Bright Nickel, Pickling, Phosphate, Silver, Bright Tin, Hot Tin Dip, and Zinc types I & II
