The RPBZ retrofit post base is designed to reinforce existing posts and columns. The single, versatile model will fit on any size post consisting of a double 2 x 4 or larger. RPBZ can also be used to reinforce new post-base connections, such as braced carports, patio covers, decks and other structures. The RPBZ can be installed with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1 inch post standoff code requirement. A single RPBZ can be installed on a post that is flush to a corner and two RPBZs can be installed at away-from-edge conditions to fortify the post-base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces. Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive SDS heavy-duty connector screws install easily and provide excellent holding strength for post-to-flange connections. Additionally, the RPBZ can be purposed as a temporary base fixture for posts when shoring beams. RPBZ comes standard in ZMAX finish to meet exposure conditions in many environments.
