Simpson Strong-Tie Post Caps
Simpson One-Piece Post Caps (Models BC, BCS, PCZ, EPCZ): Heavy-duty caps designed to connect beams to posts with lateral and uplift support. BC/BCS caps suit standard and heavier-duty applications, while PCZ/EPCZ caps provide fast, reliable post-to-beam connections, including end-of-structure reinforcement.
Simpson Two-Piece Post Caps (Models ACHZ, ZMAX, AC, LPCZ, LCE): Adjustable and versatile two-piece caps that accommodate varying post heights and lumber sizes. ACHZ/ZMAX offer corrosion resistance and flexibility for uneven posts, while AC/LPCZ/LCE provide strong lateral and uplift support for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between one-piece and two-piece post caps?
What is the difference between one-piece and two-piece post caps?
One-piece caps attach directly to the post and beam in a single unit, ideal for standard or light-to-medium-duty applications. Two-piece caps offer adjustable and versatile connections, suitable for uneven posts, retrofit projects, or applications requiring higher load capacity.
What lumber sizes do Simpson post caps support?
What lumber sizes do Simpson post caps support?
Post caps come in a variety of sizes. Models like AC, LPCZ, and LCE accommodate different post and beam dimensions, while adjustable caps like ACHZ and ZMAX allow flexibility for uneven or varying post heights.
Do two-piece post caps provide better load support than one-piece caps?
Do two-piece post caps provide better load support than one-piece caps?
Two-piece post caps are ideal when adjustable height, retrofit capability, or higher lateral/uplift support is needed. One-piece caps are sufficient for standard connections but may be less flexible in retrofit or uneven post scenarios.
Can Simpson post caps prevent post rot?
Can Simpson post caps prevent post rot?
Yes, post caps elevate the top of the post and protect it from water intrusion, reducing the risk of decay and extending the life of the structure.
What fasteners are recommended for Simpson post caps?
What fasteners are recommended for Simpson post caps?
Depending on the model, Strong-Drive SDS screws, nails, or bolts are used. Following manufacturer specifications ensures maximum load transfer and structural integrity.
