Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie CB48PC Column Base is a cast-in-place post base engineered to secure 4 x 8 wood column members at their base while helping prevent rotation. Designed so the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, this column base delivers a clean, low-profile installation ideal for structural and architectural applications. The CB48PC is finished in a textured flat black powder coat - a significantly more durable and visually refined finish compared to standard painted alternatives - making it equally suited for exposed, decorative framing projects.
Key Features
- Flat Black Powder-Coat Finish: Textured black powder-coat delivers superior durability and appearance over standard paint finishes.
- Flush Base Plate Design: Bottom of the base plate is engineered to install flush with the concrete surface for a clean, finished look.
- Rotation Resistance: Helps prevent wood column members from rotating about the base.
- 7-Gauge Steel Construction: Heavy-gauge steel provides robust structural integrity and long-term performance.
- Cast-in-Place Installation: Designed to be set into concrete during the pour for a secure, integrated connection.
- Wind & Seismic Load Rating: Allowable loads have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States by Simpson Strong-Tie.
