Simpson Strong-Tie CPT88Z – ZMAX Galvanized Concealed Post Base for 8×8

The CPTZ post base incorporates a knife plate with a standoff base. It achieves a clean, concealed look while providing a 1 in. standoff height above concrete. The CPTZ is installed with 1/2 in. diameter galvanized pins (supplied).

Features:

• The 1 in. standoff height is code-required when supporting permanent structures that are exposed to weather or water splash, or in basements
• The standoff reduces the potential for decay at post or column ends
• The anchorage for the CPTZ can be either cast-in-place or retrofit with adhesive or mechanical anchors
• Nominal post size: 8×8
• Base: 12 ga.; knife plate: 10 ga.
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
