Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of concrete installation is the PB66Z designed for?
- The PB66Z is designed to embed in wet concrete after the pour and is made to install flush with the concrete surface, creating a clean and secure connection at the base of a 6x6 post or column.
- Why is ZMAX galvanization important for this post base?
- ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications, making the PB66Z especially well-suited for outdoor environments such as decks and patio covers where moisture and treated lumber can accelerate corrosion in standard hardware.
- What fasteners are used to install the PB66Z?
- The PB66Z is installed with 16d common nails or 1/2 in. diameter bolts, providing flexible fastening options depending on the specific requirements of your project.
- Is the PB66Z suitable for non-top-supported structures like fences or unbraced carports?
- No. Post bases in the PB series 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 or unbraced carports. The PB66Z is intended for top-supported structures such as decks and patio covers.
