Simpson Strong-Tie ZMax Silver Steel Bracket 12 Ga.

The RPBZ retrofit post base is designed to reinforce existing posts and columns. The single, versatile model will fit on any size post consisting of a double 2 x 4 or larger. RPBZ can also be used to reinforce new post-base connections, such as braced carports, patio covers, decks and other structures. The RPBZ can be installed with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1 inch post standoff code requirement. A single RPBZ can be installed on a post that is flush to a corner and two RPBZs can be installed at away-from-edge conditions to fortify the post-base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws install easily and provide excellent holding strength for post-to-flange connections. Additionally, the RPBZ can be purposed as a temporary base fixture for posts when shoring beams. RPBZ comes standard in ZMAX finish to meet exposure conditions in many environments.
