Simpson Strong-Tie BCS BCS2-2/4Z Post Cap, 2 to 2 x 4 in Post/Joist, Steel, ZMAX
- Provides a positive connection for a post to a wood deck
- Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening
- Reduces the chance of the post splitting and eliminates nailing into end grain
- Not recommended for non top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports)
- ZMAX® galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
- Opposing flanges provide increased lateral resistance
- Sized specifically for multi-2X widths
- Do not install bolts into pilot holes
- Install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads
The BCS is designed to connect a multi-ply member beam to a post. The dimensions of this post cap accommodate the narrower width of multiple 2X members on top of the post. The BCS provides both lateral and uplift support and features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points for optimal strength.
