Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB7 1/8-7 Column Base is engineered to connect posts to concrete foundations across a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. Designed specifically for a PSL 7-1/8 in. x 7 in. column, this heavy-duty base is either cast-in-place or wet set into concrete so the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, ensuring full post bearing and maximum load transfer. With its robust steel construction and rugged gray paint finish, the CB Column Base is the ideal solution for columns that demand high structural values and reliable long-term performance in demanding residential and commercial applications.
