BC POST CAPS
|
The BCS allows for the connection of 2-2x's to a 4x post or
3-2x's to a 6x post. Double shear nailing between beam and post gives added strength!
The BC series offers dual purpose post cap/base for light
cap or base connections. MATERIAL: 18 gauge
FINISH: Galvanized
INSTALLATION:
- Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
- BCS: install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle
through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads
- BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2y2" joist hanger
nails.
- Not recommended for non-top-supported installations such as
fences when used as a base.
