• Manufacturer Name: Simpson Strong-Tie
• Fasteners Required: Post Flange – (6) 0.162 x 3-1/2″ Nails. Base Bottom – (4) 0.162 x 3-1/2″ Nails

Installation:

• Use all specified fasteners.
• Do not install bolts into pilot holes
• BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2 1/2″ joist hanger nails.
• Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
• To tie multiple 2x members together, the Designer must determine the fasteners required to join members to act as one unit without splitting the wood.

Note: Please see item description for specifications. Product dimensions and/or Nail or Screw holes may differ from picture.
