LCB Column Base

Concrete Connectors

This product's information may differ depending on the category of use. You are currently viewing details related to Concrete Connectors. You can also view product information related to the category: Non-Standoff Column Bases

LCB column bases use screws, which allows for fast installation, reduced reveal and high capacity, while maintaining the net section of the column.

Material

• Strap — 12 ga. (97 mil) x 2; base — 16 ga. (54 mil)

Finish

• Galvanized

Installation

• Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
• For full loads, minimum side cover required is 2" for LCB
• Install all models with bottom of base plate flush with concrete
• 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)

Options

• LCB is available in rough sizes. Consult Simpson Strong-Tie for bolt sizes and allowable loads.
