Description

Constructed from 18-gauge steel, the BCS ZMAX® galvanized post cap from Simpson Strong-Tie delivers exceptional strength for securing double 2x beams to 4x posts, making it an ideal choice for sturdy wood frame applications. Its robust design surpasses traditional angled nailing or screw fastening, ensuring a secure connection that significantly minimizes the risk of post splitting and eliminates the need to nail into the vulnerable end grain. The ZMAX galvanization enhances corrosion resistance, which is particularly beneficial for outdoor and treated-wood applications, thereby extending the longevity and durability of your projects. However, this post cap is not recommended for unsupported installations, such as fences or unbraced carports, emphasizing its specialized role in structural applications.
