Description
The 25mm standoff reduces the potential for decay at the post end and satisfies code requirements for posts that are exposed to weather or water splash or are in basements. It is part of a concealed connector system that includes the CBT and CPT. Please check corrosion information if it is suitable for your application.
Materials
CPTZ – Carbon Steel; CPTSS – 316 Stainless Steel
2.7mm thick (base), 3.5mm thick (knife plate)
Features & Benefits
- Manufactured in heavier gauge steel for a stronger connection
- 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 (dependant on engineering specifications)
- Available in a range of sizes to suit 90mm, 115mm, 140mm and 190mm posts
- The 90 mm size is also available in 316 Stainless Steel for more corrosive environments such as coastal areas
- All pins and fasteners needed for installation are included
Installation
- 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
