ABSTRACT:
A construction connector incorporating one or more fasteners can be formed by a plate including a plurality of openings, at least one fastener aligned with a corresponding opening in the plate and oriented substantially perpendicular to the plate, and a breakable connection coupling the fastener to the plate. The breakable connection further can comprise a weld. A second fastener also can be aligned with a second corresponding opening in the plate such that it is oriented substantially perpendicular to the plate, and a breakable connection can be used to couple the second fastener to the plate. Additionally, a second plate can be coupled to the plate, wherein the second plate includes at least one opening.
