2-3X6 POST CAP ZMAX
$18.64
The BCS ZMAX® galvanized post cap by Simpson Strong-Tie is engineered to provide a secure and reliable connection between posts and wood beams, making it an essential component for sturdy wood deck constructions. This post cap features a robust design crafted from 18-gauge steel, ensuring superior strength compared to traditional angled nailing or screw fastening techniques. Its innovative design reduces the risk of post splitting and eliminates the issue of nailing into the end grain, which can compromise the integrity of the structure. Furthermore, the ZMAX galvanization enhances corrosion resistance, making it ideal for exterior and treated-wood applications, ensuring longevity and durability even in challenging environments. However, it is important to note that this product is not recommended for non top-supported installations such as fences or unbraced carports, ensuring that it is used in appropriate structural contexts.
Description
Post and column bases secure the bottom of posts or columns to concrete and are perfect for decks or patio covers. Models are available for attaching to existing hardened concrete, wet concrete, as well as wood. The BCS allows for the connection of 2-2xs to a 4x post or 3-2xs to a 6x post. Double-shear nailing between beam and post gives added strength.
