Product Details

The MPBZ is specifically designed to provide moment resistance for wood columns and posts. With its innovative sleeve design, the MPBZ encapsulates the post and keeps it from rotating at its base when lateral loads are applied at the top. This provides both the specifier and the contractor with greater design options and the opportunity to reduce the need for bracing, creating more unobstructed views. This innovative off-the-shelf solution has been engineered and tested to save specifiers and contractors the time and expense involved in designing, calculating and ordering custom-fabricated parts. Also available for 4x4 and 6x6 posts.
  • Tabs inside the MPBZ provide the code-required 1-in post standoff to help prevent rot from standing water and ground moisture
  • Stamped indicators and internal tabs identify the required concrete embedment depth
  • Strategically placed holes simplify installation to allow template attachment
  • Optional obround holes have been added for attaching trim material
  • Additional holes at the embedment line allow standing water to exit and a point of visual inspection
  • 1-piece design simplifies installation
  • Post size: 8x8
  • Made from 12-Gauge steel
  • ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
  • Install with 1/4 in. x 3 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (included)
  • Return Policy

          Not satisfied with the part where its gonna hold all patio weight. It has very small hooks where my 8x8 post willstay. There are all chances. That the wood will get cut. I will have to use another clamp by covering it by concrete. Not satisfied.
