Frequently Asked Questions
- What size post does the APB44R fit?
- The APB44R is designed for a 4x4 rough post, meaning the post must have an actual measurement of 4 in. x 4 in. It is not compatible with nominal 4x4 lumber, which measures 3-1/2 in. x 3-1/2 in. If you have a nominal 4x4 post, you will need the APB44 instead.
- What fasteners are required to install the APB44R?
- Install with (4) STN22 Outdoor Accents hex-head washers, (4) SDWS22312DBB Outdoor Accents structural wood screws, and (1) 5/8 in. concrete anchor. Fasteners are sold separately.
- How does the APB44R protect against post-end rot?
- The APB44R features a 1 in. standoff from the concrete surface. This gap helps prevent moisture from accumulating at the post end, significantly reducing the risk of post-end rot over time.
- Is the APB44R suitable for high-wind or seismic regions?
- Yes. The APB44R is designed to meet stringent building codes for seismic or high-wind events, making it appropriate for use in areas with elevated structural performance requirements.

Note: This connector is designed for rough cut lumber, NOT nominal lumber (most common). This will only fit a post that measures an actual 4 in. x 4 in. If you have a nominal post measuring 3-1/2 in. x 3-1/2 in., you will need the ornamental post base.
