$278.54
Engineered for strength and durability, the Simpson Strong-Tie MPBZ® ZMAX® galvanized moment post base is specifically designed to support 8×8 posts while ensuring compliance with building codes. Its one-piece construction simplifies installation, making it accessible for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. The internal tabs provide a critical 1-inch post standoff, which helps prevent rot from moisture and standing water, while strategically placed holes and stamped indicators facilitate easy attachment and proper embedment depth.
Description
The MPBZ® is specifically designed to provide moment resistance for wood columns and posts. With its innovative sleeve design, the MPBZ encapsulates the post and keeps it from rotating at its base when lateral loads are applied at the top. This provides both the specifier and the contractor with greater design options and the opportunity to reduce the need for bracing, creating more unobstructed views. This innovative off-the-shelf solution has been engineered and tested to save specifiers and contractors the time and expense involved in designing, calculating and ordering custom-fabricated parts. Also available for 4×4 and 6×6 posts.
