1. Allowable uplift load capacities are for solid sawn posts with specific gravity
of 0.36 minimum except the PBV, which is based on round "Viga" (Ponderosa
Pine) wood posts.
2. All allowable uplift loads are based on a lowest ultimate load from testing
divided by a reduction factor of 4. Concrete anchorage to be designed by
others, refer to Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems catalog. Allowable uplift
capacities shall not exceed those shown in the table.
3. Download capacities are calculated based on the standoff bearing area and a
concrete strength of 2500 psi except the PBV, which is based on the wood
bearing strength (700 psi for Ponderosa Pine).
4. Allowable loads may not be increased for short term loading.
5. NAILS: 10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long.

Versatile angle gussets and heavy angles promote
standardization and construction economy, and are compatible
with Strong-Tie structural hardware.
FINISH: Textured powder-coated flat black paint, gray paint
or galvanized
TO ORDER: All products with PC suffix are textured powder
coated flat black paint. 7 gauge products without the
PC suffix are galvanized. 3 gauge products without the
PC suffix are gray paint.
OPTIONS: Gussets may be added to HL models when L 5".
Specify G after numbers in model number as in HL46GPC.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
1. Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for
earthquake or wind loading. No further increase allowed;
reduce where other loads govern.
2. Use 0.85 times table load for Hem Fir.
3. Parts should be centered on the face of the member to
which they are attached.
4. Wood members for the 3 and 5 series must have a
minimum width and thickness of 3 for table loads to apply.
5. Wood members for the 4 and 7 series must have a
minimum width and thickness of 5 for table loads to apply.
6. For Uplift loads, parts must be used in pairs. Lag bolts of
equal diameter (minimum 5" long) may be substituted for
machine bolts into beam with no reduction in load.
The PBV is a hidden standoff post base. Two different sizes
fit a variety of posts shapes.
MATERIAL: 14 gauge galvanized steel
FINISH: Textured powder-coated flat black paint or galvanized
ORDER: For powder coated finished, order PBV6PC or PBV10PC.
For galvanized finish order PBV6 or PBV10. For kit containing
SDS screws, RFB bolt, SET 1.7, and powder coated PBV,
order PBV6KT or PBV10KT.
The CPS is a Composite Plastic Standoff designed for increased
concrete surface area.
MATERIAL: Engineered composite plastic
INSTALLATION: PBV and CPS
Post:
Drill a diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post. Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson SET epoxy.
Insert all-thread rod and allow epoxy to set and cure. Secure standoff to post using four 10d nails except PBV
which uses four SDS screws.
Concrete:
Drill a diameter hole per anchor design
(see footnote 2 below).
Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson SET epoxy.
Insert post subassembly into hole and allow epoxy to set
and cure.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
