Product Description
The Simpson PC8RZ PCZ ZMAX Galvanized Post Cap for 8x Rough from Simpson is built for fast, dependable post-to-beam connections using 8x rough solid sawn and rough lumber. In-line post and beam flanges simplify the connection process, while 16-gauge steel construction and a ZMAX finish combine to deliver lasting structural performance across a wide range of exposure conditions.
Key Features
- ZMAX finish is standard - provides enhanced corrosion resistance to meet exposure conditions in many environments, making this cap suitable for demanding outdoor and covered applications alike
- In-line post and beam flanges - allow one model to accommodate several post sizes, reducing the guesswork when selecting hardware for rough lumber framing projects
- Installs with 0.148 in. x 3 in. nails or Strong-Drive SD Connector screws - gives installers flexibility to use common fastener types already on the job site, keeping the installation process efficient
- 16-gauge steel construction - delivers a strong, rigid connection between post and beam, supporting structural integrity in load-bearing applications
- Designed specifically for 8x rough nominal post sizes - ensures a precise, secure fit for solid sawn and rough lumber post-to-beam assemblies without modification
Why This Product
- Built-in corrosion protection from the start - the ZMAX coating comes standard, so there is no need to upgrade or source a separate finish for projects exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions
- Engineered for speed on the job - the straightforward design with in-line flanges and compatibility with common nails or connector screws means post cap installation does not slow down the framing process
- Versatile fit for rough lumber framing - sized specifically for 8x rough posts used in solid sawn and rough lumber construction, this cap works reliably with the actual material dimensions found on structural framing projects
- Trusted hardware from Simpson - this post cap is manufactured to meet the standards that structural connectors require, giving builders confidence in the connection at every post-to-beam joint
