Simpson 4 X 4 ELEVATED POST BASE HDG 3-1/4" x 3-9/16" x 2-5/16" x 12ga (97mils) base (carton of 50)

Product Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie 4x4 Elevated Post Base Hot Dipped Galvanized Quantity 50 Count (EPB44HDGMB) is engineered for securing wood posts to cast concrete, providing essential standoff to prevent water damage and wood rot, effectively extending the life of your posts and columns. EPB44HDGMB allows 1" to 2-1/2" clearance above concrete. A 2" standoff will provide enough room for moisture barrier and surface finish while still maintaining the 1" standoff required for code. Made from durable steel, the EPB is available in various sizes for both 4x4 and 4x6 posts. Installation: The Simpson Strong-Tie EPB44HDGMB is designed to be cast in place. After the concrete sets, insert the post into the base and fasten using appropriate screws or nails, such as 0.162 x 3-1/2 nails. Follow all manufacturer guidelines and applicable building codes for proper installation. Post bases do not provide adequate rotational resistance for post members, so this base is not recommended for applications without top support (fences, unbraced carports, etc.)
