- Suits 190mm to 203mm square posts
- The 25mm standoff reduces the potential for decay at the post end
- Can be cast-in-place or retrofitted with adhesive or mechanical anchors
- Manufactured in heavier gauge steel for a stronger connection, finished with ZMAX® Galvanised
- All pins and fasteners needed for installation are included
The CPT Concealed Post Base provides a clean, concealed look while providing a 25mm standoff height above concrete to help reduce the potential for decay to timber, at the post end. Available in 90mm (Black or Stainless Steel), 115mm, 140mm, and 200m sizes, the CPT forms part of Simpson Strong-Tie concealed structural connector range, which combines structural strength with invisibility.
Manufactured in heavier gauge carbon steel for a stronger connection, base 2.7mm, plate 3.5mm, finished with ZMAX® Galvanised. The post support blade can be used as a template for location to drill dowel holes. Black powder coated base for a modern appearance. Tested and load-rated engineering data available. Suitable for Glulam and solid sawn timber. It can be installed with either mechanical or chemical anchors (dependent on engineering specifications). The 90 mm size is also available in 316 Stainless Steel for for more corrosive environments such as coastal areas. All pins and fasteners needed for installation are included.
When Installing, use all specified fasteners. Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non‑braced or non‑top‑supported installations. Anchorage Options, The holes in the CPT tabs are sized for 12mm diameter anchors, for cast‑in‑place anchors, there should be 22mm (±3mm) of anchor above the top surface of the concrete.
