Abstract: A structural connecting and sealing member is provided for making a structural connection between two structural members along an elongate interface without the need for any additional fasteners. The member includes two attaching members for attaching the connecting member to each of the structural members, and further includes a sealing portion which provides a seal along a joint between the two structural members thereby eliminating the need for caulking or sealant to be applied to the joint. The member is particularly suited for use in the construction of door frames where it is used to join a door jamb to a brick mold.
