20 Pack Truss Plates 3x6 Pronged Truss Mending Plate - Durable

In this review of the 20 Pack Truss Plates 3x6, the bottom line is simple: these plates are a practical, low-cost way to join wood truss members when speed and corrosion resistance matter. The reviewer finds them best suited for prefabricated roof, floor and wall truss work where hydraulic or roller pressing is available, because the pressed, pronged design creates a secure mechanical connection. The plates are galvanized steel and emphasize functionality and long-term resistance to rust, so contractors and DIYers building or repairing trusses will find a reliable connector here.

Key Features

• Pack quantity: A pack of 20 plates provides enough mending plates for small to medium truss jobs without buying excessive extras.
• Material and coating: Made from premium steel with HDG hot dip galvanized treatment to reduce rust and resist corrosion on exposed wood connectors.
• Pronged, staggered nails: Staggered nail teeth are pressed into the wood to reduce splitting and provide a tight mechanical hold between chords and webs.
• Fast assembly: These plates are designed to be pressed into members with hydraulic or roller equipment, enabling quick, repeatable installations for prefabricated components.
• Versatile connector: Intended for roof trusses, floor trusses and wall frames, the plates replace traditional nails or bolts in many wood truss connections.
• Brand range: Sold under the MOZCORN line, the plates are part of a broader range of wood truss connectors including L brackets, hurricane ties and joist hangers.

Who It's For

These truss plates are aimed at contractors, truss fabricators and serious DIY builders who use pressing equipment and need a reliable, corrosion-resistant connector for truss chords and webs. The pack size and steel construction make them convenient for repair jobs and small production runs.

They are less appropriate for casual users who expect to hammer plates into very hard wood by hand; several customers reported mixed ease of installation in dense timber. If you lack pressing equipment or plan to install many plates by hand in hardwood, consider alternate connectors or plan for power-assisted installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Galvanized steel construction offers strong resistance to rust and corrosion for outdoor or attic applications.
• Staggered pronged teeth create a secure connection that helps prevent splitting of members when pressed properly.
• Pack of 20 is practical for small to medium jobs and keeps spare plates on hand for repairs.
• Designed for fast assembly with hydraulic or roller equipment, speeding up repetitive truss work.

Cons

• Installation can be difficult by hand in hard wood; several users noted mixed ease of installation without power pressing tools.
• Limited to connections suitable for 3x6 plate size, so other plate sizes may be required for different truss designs.
