Frequently Asked Questions
- Why does this column base have a 1 in. standoff?
- The code-required 1 in. standoff design elevates the post above the concrete surface, protecting the post end from direct moisture contact and significantly reducing the risk of moisture-related post-end rot over time.
- What fasteners are used to install the CBSTQ46-SDS2HDG?
- Installation requires (14) 1/4 in. x 2 in. Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are included with the column base. These screws provide a greater wood net section area than bolts, contributing to a stronger overall connection.
- Why is the hot-dip galvanized finish important for this product?
- Hot-dip galvanization (HDG) offers extra corrosion resistance, making this column base well-suited for exterior applications and use with pressure-treated wood, where standard coatings may not provide adequate long-term protection.
- What role do the S-shaped bearing tabs play in this column base?
- The S-shaped bearing tabs are a structural feature that provides increased strength to the connector, allowing for higher download capacities compared to previous column base models without this design element.
