The CBQGT uses Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which allows for fast installation, reduced reveal, high capacity and provides a greater net section area of the column compared to bolts.
Material
See table
Finish
Simpson Strong-Tie gray paint, available in HDG
Installation
Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
Install 1/4" x 2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided with the column base. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
Minimum 3" side cover on concrete is required.
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).
Other sizes available. Check with Simpson Strong-Tie for details.

Factored uplift resistances have been increased 15% for earthquake or wind loading, with no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
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.
Designer is responsible for concrete design.
Factored resistances shown assume dry service condition (KSF = 1.00). Multiply table values by 0.67 under wet service conditions.
