Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB46SS is a stainless-steel column base engineered to connect posts to concrete foundations across a wide range of lumber, glulam, and engineered wood product sizes. Designed for a nominal 4x6 column, this base is either cast-in-place or wet set into concrete so that the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, providing full post bearing. Built from robust 7-gauge stainless steel, the CB46SS delivers high structural values and rugged performance, making it the ideal solution for columns subjected to demanding load conditions including wind and seismic events.
Features

Frequently Asked Questions
- What column size is the CB46SS designed for?
- The CB46SS is designed for a nominal 4x6 column size and is compatible with lumber, glulam, and engineered wood products of that size.
- How is the CB46SS installed into concrete?
- The CB46SS is either cast-in-place or wet set into concrete so that the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, providing full post bearing for the column above.
- Why is stainless steel used for this column base?
- The CB46SS is made from 7-gauge stainless steel to provide high and severe corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where standard steel would be prone to significant corrosion.
- What hardware is needed to install the CB46SS?
- The CB46SS is installed with two 5/8-inch diameter stainless-steel machine bolts. The bolt hole locations are designed to meet code-required spacing for optimal load capacity.
