Simpson Strong-Tie BC6 BC Post Cap - for 6X Nominal Post Size, 18-Gauge Light-Duty Steel Construction, Zinc Galvanized Coating, Increased Lateral Resistance

Product description

• STRONG POST‐TO‐BEAM CONNECTION: Engineered to connect wood posts to overhead beams, this post cap is designed for 6x nominal post size and provides a secure connection that’s stronger and more reliable than angled nailing or screw fastening in light‐to‐medium structural applications.
• LIGHT‐DUTY STRUCTURAL SUPPORT: Made from 18‐gauge steel with opposing flanges, this post cap offers uplift and lateral resistance while helping reduce the chance of splitting the post during installation with common nails or pneumatic nailers.
• EASY INSTALLATION: Designed for use with specified nails (such as 16d common or 16d x 2‐1/2′′ joist hanger nails), the BC post cap installs quickly and easily. Pilot holes are provided for manufacturing; avoid installing bolts in these holes.
• GALVANIZED CORROSION PROTECTION: Available in a G90 zinc galvanized corrosion‐resistant finish, this post cap helps protect against moisture and treated lumber exposure, making it suitable for many outdoor applications when correctly specified.
• SIMPSON STRONG-TIE RELIABILITY: At Simpson Strong-Tie, our mission is to provide solutions that help people design and build safer, stronger structures. As a pioneer in the building industry, we have an unmatched passion for problem solving through skillful engineering and thoughtful innovation.
