Product Description
Simpson CB66PC CB Black Powder-Coated Column Base for 6x6 is a heavy-duty post base engineered by Simpson for 6x6 columns and posts that demand high structural values and rugged performance. Part of the Simpson Decorative Hardware line, this pre-engineered, load-rated connector is designed for exposed-wood applications where structural reliability and finished appearance must work together - delivering a flush, clean mount at the top of the concrete with a bold black powder-coat finish that stands up to the demands of visible installations.
Key Features
- Flush-mount design - mounts the post directly at the top of the concrete for a clean, finished look that suits exposed architectural applications
- Uplift resistance - helps reduce uplift loads on posts or columns, adding structural security where lateral and vertical forces are a concern
- Diamond holes for temporary fastening - allow you to hold the base in position during installation before final fasteners are applied, making alignment easier and more accurate
- 7-gauge steel construction - heavy-gauge material provides the rugged strength needed for column and post connections requiring high structural values
- Black powder-coat finish - delivers a decorative, prefinished appearance that integrates naturally into exposed-wood projects without additional finishing work on site
Why This Product
- Pre-engineered and load-rated for confidence - unlike custom-fabricated connectors, this column base is tested and verified to perform to design loads, giving builders and designers a reliable, code-friendly solution
- Structural performance meets decorative appeal - the combination of 7-gauge steel strength and a prefinished black powder-coat makes this post base equally suited for structural duty and aesthetically sensitive exposed-wood applications like pergolas, porches, and pavilions
- Faster, more accurate installation - the diamond holes for temporary fastening let installers position and hold the base securely before committing to final fasteners, reducing the risk of misalignment during concrete anchoring
- Made in the United States by a trusted connector brand - produced by Simpson, a name recognized for pre-engineered structural connectors, this column base brings proven manufacturing quality to post and column support applications
