Product Details

The BC post cap is designed to connect a beam to a post. The 18 ga material of this post cap makes it ideal for light-duty connections. The BC provides uplift and lateral resistance and includes sizes for both nominal and rough lumber.

Key Features

  • Provides a positive connection for a post to a wood deck
  • Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening
  • Reduces the chance of the post splitting and eliminates nailing into end grain
  • Not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)
  • Galvanized (G90) for extra corrosion resistance
  • Opposing flanges provide increased lateral resistance
  • Attains full allowable load using either common nail or pneumatic nail sizes
  • Do not install bolts into pilot holes
  • Install with 0162 x 3-1/2 in nails or 0162 x 2-1/2 in nails
