Frequently Asked Questions
- What lumber size is the BC46R designed to fit?
- The BC46R is sized specifically for rough 4x6 lumber, making it the correct choice when working with rough-sawn posts rather than standard nominal-dimensioned lumber.
- What type of nails should be used to install the BC46R?
- Install with 0.162 x 3 1/2 nails or 0.162 x 2 1/2 nails. Use all specified fasteners per the General Notes, and do not install bolts into pilot holes.
- What structural resistances does the BC46R provide?
- The BC46R provides both uplift and lateral resistance. Its opposing flanges are specifically designed to increase lateral resistance in beam-to-post connections.
- Is the BC46R suitable for heavy-duty structural loads?
- No. The BC46R is an 18-gauge post cap with light-gauge material designed for light-duty applications. For heavier loads, a heavier-gauge connector would be more appropriate.
