CBQ Column Bases

Installation

View step-by-step installation instructions

The CBQ uses Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® screws (SDS), which allows for fast installation, reduced reveal and high capacity, providing a greater net section area of the column compared to bolts.

CBQ Discontinued in 2010

The CBQ Column Bases are being phased out in 2010. Simpson Strong-Tie recommends substituting a CB or CBSQ column base for these items. See more information on CB Column Bases and CBSQ Column Bases.

Material: See table.

Finish: Galvanized, available in HDG with HDG screws.

Installation:

Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Install Simpson Strong-Tie SDS 1/4"x2" wood screws, which are provided with the column base. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
For full loads, a minimum of 3" side cover shall be provided.
Install bottom of base plate flush with concrete surface.
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).

Ordering: To order with screws, specify CBQ-SDS2. To order without screws, specify CBQ.

Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. Values in the tables reflect installation into the wide face. See technical bulletin T-SCLCOLUMN for values on the narrow face (edge)
Download capacity is based on either the post design or concrete design calculated per code.
Designer is responsible for concrete design.
Testing to new ICC-ES acceptance criteria to be completed in 2009. Reference this web site for the latest loads and information.
