Product Description
The Simpson LBPS 5/8Z ZMAX Galvanized Slotted Bearing Plate is a 3 in. x 3 in. structural plate engineered to provide a greater bearing surface than standard cut washers at critical load connections. Designed for use on foundation anchor bolts, this bearing plate helps strengthen and distribute load where it matters most, making it a dependable choice for 2x4 and 2x6 wall framing applications. Its slotted hole design and ZMAX galvanized finish make it well suited for both interior framing and exterior or treated-wood environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.
Key Features
- Slotted hole design - allows on-site adjustability to account for anchor bolts that are not centered in the sill plate, saving time and avoiding costly repositioning during installation
- Increased flexibility for 2x4 and 2x6 walls - meets the latest code requirements for the most common residential and light commercial wall framing configurations, keeping your project inspection-ready
- Greater bearing surface than standard cut washers - distributes load more effectively at foundation anchor bolt connections, strengthening these critical points in the structure
- ZMAX galvanized coating - provides extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, making this plate a reliable long-term fit wherever standard galvanized hardware may be vulnerable to moisture or chemical exposure
- 9/64 in. thickness - delivers a sturdy, code-consistent profile without adding unnecessary bulk at the connection point
Why This Product
- Built for real-world installation tolerances - the slotted hole eliminates the frustration of misaligned anchor bolts by giving installers room to adjust the plate position without moving the bolt itself, keeping framing crews on schedule
- A stronger alternative to cut washers at anchor bolt locations - bearing plates are specifically designed to strengthen and distribute load at foundation connections, offering a more robust solution than the cut washers they replace
- Corrosion resistance where it counts - the ZMAX galvanized finish is formulated for contact with treated lumber and exposure to exterior conditions, helping the connection maintain its integrity over time in demanding environments
- Meets current code for common wall assemblies - compatibility with both 2x4 and 2x6 wall framing gives builders and contractors a single anchor bolt plate solution that satisfies the latest requirements across a wide range of residential and light commercial projects

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the purpose of a slotted bearing plate versus a standard cut washer?
- Bearing plates give greater bearing surface than standard cut washers. They are designed to help strengthen and distribute the load at critical connections, making them a more robust solution at foundation anchor bolt locations.
- Why does the LBPS 5/8Z have a slotted hole instead of a round hole?
- The slotted hole allows for adjustability to account for bolts that are not in the middle of the sill plate, providing increased flexibility during installation without requiring repositioning of the anchor bolt itself.
- What wall framing sizes is the LBPS 5/8Z compatible with?
- The LBPS 5/8Z offers increased flexibility while meeting the latest requirements of the code for 2x4 and 2x6 walls, making it suitable for the most common residential and light commercial wall framing configurations.
- Why is the ZMAX coating significant for this bearing plate?
- ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications. This enhanced coating makes the LBPS 5/8Z well suited for use in environments where contact with treated lumber or exposure to moisture could accelerate corrosion of standard galvanized hardware.
