Product Details
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)
