Product Description
Simpson BPS 3/4-3HDG BPS 3 in. x 3 in. HDG Slotted Bearing Plate with 3/4 in. Bolt Dia. is a heavy-duty bearing plate from Simpson Strong-Tie engineered to provide a greater bearing surface than standard cut washers, helping to strengthen and distribute the load at critical structural connections. Commonly used on foundation anchor bolts in sill plate applications for 2x4 and 2x6 wall construction, this plate features a slotted hole for on-site adjustability and a hot-dip galvanized finish for superior corrosion resistance in exterior and treated-wood environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of a bearing plate, and how does it differ from a standard cut washer?
- Bearing plates give greater bearing surface than standard cut washers. They are designed to help strengthen and distribute the load at critical connections, making them a more robust choice for foundation anchor bolt applications where load distribution is important.
- Why does this bearing plate have a slotted hole instead of a round hole?
- The slotted hole allows for adjustability to account for bolts that are not in the middle of the sill plate. This built-in flexibility helps installers achieve a proper connection even when anchor bolt placement is slightly off-center, while still meeting current code requirements for 2x4 and 2x6 walls.
- Why is the hot-dip galvanized (HDG) finish important for this bearing plate?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications. Treated lumber often contains chemicals that can accelerate corrosion of standard steel hardware, so the HDG coating provides the durability needed to maintain a reliable connection in these demanding environments.
- What bolt diameter is this bearing plate designed to accommodate?
- This bearing plate is designed for use with a 3/4 in. bolt diameter. The 3 in. x 3 in. plate dimensions and slotted hole are sized specifically to work with 3/4 in. anchor bolts in sill plate connections for 2x4 and 2x6 wall applications.
