Abstract
The connector assembly includes a fitting with a first mounting portion having two opposing surfaces and mounting hole(s) extending between the two surfaces for connecting with a first member. A second mounting portion extends angled with respect to the first mounting portion and has two opposing surfaces and mounting hole(s) extending between the two for connecting with a second member. A joint portion integrally connects the first and second mounting portions. One or more washers each have opposing upper and lower surfaces and at least one hole extending between the two surfaces, each receiving a fastener for attaching the second mounting portion to the second member. The washer lower surface is disposed on the second mounting portion inner surface such that the washer opening is centered about the at least one mounting hole axis. Each washer is joined to the second mounting portion to form an integral assembly.
