The Simpson Strong-Tie Bearing Plate BP 1-1/4HDG is a hot-dip galvanized structural bearing plate engineered to provide a greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers, helping to distribute concentrated compressive loads at critical structural connections. Measuring 3 x 3 inches with a 3/8-inch thickness and a 1-5/16-inch hole sized for 1-1/4-inch diameter anchor bolts, this bearing plate transfers concentrated compressive forces between two structural elements, making it an essential component in demanding load-distribution applications.

Key Features

• Replaces standard-cut washers while providing a greater bearing surface
• Sized for most common anchor bolt sizes: 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" and 1"
• Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coating provides higher corrosion resistance for demanding environments
• Also available in black powder coat finish
• 3 x 3-inch plate dimensions deliver broad load distribution at critical connections
• 3/8-inch thickness provides substantial structural support under compressive forces
• Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the hole size on the BP 1-1/4HDG bearing plate?

The BP 1-1/4HDG features a 1-5/16-inch hole, which is designed to accommodate a 1-1/4-inch diameter anchor bolt, providing the proper fit and load transfer at the connection point.

Why choose a hot-dip galvanized bearing plate over a standard finish?

The hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating provides higher corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes, making the BP 1-1/4HDG well-suited for applications exposed to moisture, weather, or other corrosive conditions where long-term durability is essential.

How does this bearing plate differ from a standard-cut washer?

The BP 1-1/4HDG is specifically designed to replace standard-cut washers by offering a significantly greater bearing surface. Its 3 x 3-inch plate dimensions allow it to distribute concentrated compressive loads more effectively across structural connections than a typical washer can provide.

What are the overall dimensions of the BP 1-1/4HDG?

The BP 1-1/4HDG measures 3 inches wide by 3 inches long with a 3/8-inch thickness, providing a robust and stable bearing surface for structural load-distribution applications.
