EPB44T/EPB44PHDG Elevated Post Bases

EPB44PHDG can be used both for pier block and cast-in-place installation for 4x4 posts.

Material: 12 gauge base. EPB44T - threaded rod support 5/8" x 5" (shipped assembled). EPB44PHDG - Threaded rod support 3/4" x 6", nut and washer are shipped assembled.

Finish: EPB44T: Base—Galvanized, Threaded Rod—Zinc Plate
EPB44PHDG: HDG; see Corrosion Information.

Installation:

Secured with Epoxy: EPB44T - Drill a 3/4" hole 3" deep minimum into the concrete. Clean the hole and fill half full with epoxy (per installation instructions). Insert the EPB44T and adjust to the desired height. The threaded rod shall be embedded a minimum of 2 1/2". To adjust after the epoxy cures, drill a hole in the center of the post and rotate the post base up or down to the desired height.
EPB44PHDG - Drill a 7/8" diameter hole 4" deep minimum and fill the hole halfway with SET epoxy or drill a 13/16" diameter hole 4" deep minimum and fill the hole halfway with AT adhesive. Insert the EPB44PHDG and adjust to the desired height. The threaded rod shall be embedded a mimimum of 3 1/2". Minimum sidecover is 3" from the center of the threaded rod for both products.
Supported by a Nut: EPB44T - Drill a 3/4" hole 2 1/2" deep min. into concrete. Install a 5/8-11 NC nut and cut washer on the threaded rod. (Nut and washer not supplied). Insert EPB44T into the hole and adjust to the desired height.
EPB44PHDG - Drill a 1" diameter hole 3 1/2" deep minimum. Insert the EPB44PHDG and adjusts to the desired height.
Embedded in wet concrete: Embed 5/8" rod minimum 4" embedment.
Minimum sidecover is 3" from the center of the threaded rod.
Fully engage at least three threads in the base.
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).

Some products may be installed with the Strong-Drive® SD Structural Connector screw - click here for details

These products are available with additional corrosion protection. Additional products on this page may also be available with this option, check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

These models are approved for installation with the Strong-Drive SD Structural-Connector screw.
See the load values.

Loads may not be increased for short term loading.
Uplift loads require the threaded rod to be set in wet concrete or attached to cured concrete with SET epoxy or AT adhesive. Uplift loads do not apply when installed to a pier block.
Specifier to design concrete for shear capacity.
Downloads shall be reduced where limited by the capacity of the post. See Post Capacities for common post allowable loads.
Structural composite lumber columns have sides that show either the wide face or the edges of the lumber strands/veneers. For SCL columns, the fasteners for these products should always be installed in the wide face.
NAILS: 16d = 0.162" dia. x 3 1/2" long. See other nail sizes and information.
