Product Description
The Simpson LCE4Z ZMAX Galvanized End Post Cap by Simpson Strong-Tie is a light post cap engineered for end conditions where the end of a beam bears on a wood post. Designed to transfer load efficiently from the beam into the post and ultimately into the foundation, this two-piece connector accommodates nominal 4x or 6x lumber and is equally suited for new construction and retrofit applications. Its ZMAX galvanized coating delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for exterior and treated-wood environments.
