Simpson Strong-Tie 8 x 10 Column Base Black Powder Coated (CB810PC) - is a cast-in-place column base engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to prevent wood members from rotating at their base. Designed so the bottom of the base plate sits flush with the concrete surface, this column base delivers a clean, finished appearance paired with structural reliability for post and column installations.

Key Features

• Cast-in-place design positions the bottom of the base plate flush with the concrete for a clean, low-profile installation
• Prevents wood members from rotating about the base, adding stability to supported column installations
• Textured flat black powder-coat finish provides a more durable and better-looking result than standard paint
• Heavy-duty 3 gauge steel construction for long-lasting performance
• Allowable loads increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading - no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern
• Minimum side cover for full loads is 3" for CB models
• Made in the United States

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the CB810PC column base installed?

The CB810PC is a cast-in-place column base. It is installed with the bottom of the base plate flush with the concrete surface. All specified fasteners must be used, including (2) 5/8" bolts, to achieve rated performance.

Can the CB810PC be used for fence posts or other non-top-supported installations?

No. Post bases like the CB810PC do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base, and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations such as fences.

What finish does the CB810PC feature, and why is it beneficial?

The CB810PC features a Textured Black Powder-Coat finish. This finish produces a much more durable and better-looking result than standard paint, making it well suited for exposed or decorative structural applications.

Are the load values on the CB810PC adjusted for wind or seismic conditions?

Yes. Allowable loads for the CB810PC have been increased 60% for wind or earthquake loading. No further increase is allowed, and loads should be reduced where other governing load conditions apply.
