Simpson (EPB44PHDG) 4 X 4 ELEVATED POST BASE PIER BLOCK HDG 3-1/4" x 3-9/16" x 2-5/16" x 12ga (97mils) base (carton of 10)

Product Description

The Simpson Strong-Tie EPB44PHDG 4x4 Hot Dipped Galvanized Post Base is engineered for securing wood posts in both cast-in-place and retrofit applications. The post base provides essential standoff to prevent water damage and wood rot, effectively extending the life of your posts and columns. EPB44PHDG 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. When used in retrofit applications use either Simpson SET-3G™ or AT-XP® epoxy anchoring adhesives. Installation: The Simpson Strong-Tie EPB44PHDG is designed to be cast in place or installed in retrofit applications. For retrofit, drill a 7/8" hole to a minimum 4" depth. Fill hole at least halfway with anchoring adhesive, and ensure at least 3-1/2" thread depth. Minimum sidecover is at least 3" from the center of the threaded rod. After the base is installed, 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.) Nut-Supported Method: Drill a 1" hole, 3 1/2" deep, and insert the base, adjusting to height. Cast-in-Place Method: Embed end to have a nut and bearing plate, ensuring 4" minimum embedment from top of concrete to top of plate. Minimum sidecover is at least 3" from the center of the threaded rod.
