Product Description
The Simpson AC6SS AC Stainless-Steel Adjustable Post Cap for 6x Lumber is a heavy-duty structural connector engineered by Simpson Strong-Tie to provide a positive, secure connection between a beam and the top of a post.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What lumber size is the AC6SS post cap designed to work with?
- The AC6SS is specifically designed for use with nominal 6x lumber, making it the correct choice when working with standard 6x posts and beams.
- Why should the AC6SS be used instead of angled nailing or screw fastening?
- The AC6SS post cap is engineered to be stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening and eliminates the structural weakness caused by nailing into end grains, resulting in a more reliable and secure beam-to-post connection.
- Why does the AC series always need to be installed in pairs?
- The AC series is designed to provide a positive connection between a beam and a post, and these connectors are always installed in pairs to ensure balanced load transfer and structural integrity at the connection point.
- What type of fasteners are required to install the AC6SS post cap?
- The AC6SS should be installed with 0.162 in. x 3-1/2 in. stainless-steel nails to maintain compatibility with the stainless-steel construction and ensure corrosion resistance throughout the connection.
