The CPB is made of corrosion resistant composite material compatible
with preservative treated lumber. Provides code required 1" stand-off
and can be used with rough lumber sizes.
Materials: High Strength composite
Codes: IRC R317.1.4, IBC 2304.12.2.2, IRC R407.3, IBC 2304.10.7
Installation:
• Attach base to post with (4) 10d HDG nails.
• Attach post to concrete using 1/2" diameter rod into concrete
and extend into wood member.
• Not recommended for fence posts or other unrestrained (not
xed or fastened at top) applications. These anchors are not
designed to resist overturning (moment) loads.
