to cured concrete with SET epoxy or AT adhesive.
3. Specifier to design concrete for shear capacity.
4.Downloads shall be reduced where limited by buckling capacity of the post.

1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
2. EPB44 and EPB46 have extra nail holes; only eight must be filled
to achieve table loads.
3. Specifier to design concrete for shear capacity.
4.Downloads shall be reduced where limited by buckling capacity of the post.
5. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes
and information.
MATERIAL: EPB44A 14 ga.; others 12 ga. base plate,
1 OD x 8" pipe
FINISH: EPB44A Galvanized; all others Simpson gray
paint (may be ordered HDG); see Corrosion-
Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners.
See General Notes.
Allows 1" to 2 clearance above concrete,
2" for EPB44A. Post bases 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).
OPTIONS: 12" pipe available for EPB44, 46, 66;
specify -12 after model number.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Typical EPB44PHDG
Installed with SET Epoxy
or AT Adhesive
NEW! EPB44PHDG (Elevated Post Base Hot-Dip Galvanized) can be
used both for pier block and cast-in-place installation for 4x4 posts.
MATERIAL: 12 gauge base. EPB44T Threaded rod support "x5" (shipped
assembled). EPB44PHDG Threaded rod support "x6", nut and
washer are shipped assembled
FINISH: EPB44T: Base Galvanized, Threaded Rod Zinc Plate
EPB44PHDG: Hot-Dip Galvanized
INSTALLATION: Secured with Epoxy: EPB44T Drill a hole 3" deep minimum into the
concrete. Fill the hole half full with epoxy. Insert the EPB44T and adjust
to the desired height. The threaded rod shall be embedded a minimum
of 2 ". To adjust after the epoxy cures, drill a hole in the center of the
post and rotate the post base up or down to the desired height.
EPB44PHDG Drill a diameter hole 4" deep minimum and fill the
hole halfway with SET epoxy or drill a diameter hole 4" deep
minimum and fill the hole halfway with AT adhesive. Insert the
EPB44PHDG and adjust to the desired height. The threaded rod shall
be embedded a minimum of 3 ". Minimum sidecover is 3" from the
center of the threaded rod for both products.
Supported by a Nut: EPB44T Drill a hole 2 deep minimum into
concrete. Install a -11 NC nut and cut washer on the threaded rod.
(Nut and washer not supplied). Insert EPB44T into the hole and adjust
to the desired height. EPB44PHDG Drill a 1" diameter hole 3 deep
minimum. Insert the EPB44PHDG and adjust to the desired height.
Embedded in wet concrete: Embed rod minimum 4" embedment.
Minimum sidecover is 3" from the center of the threaded rod.
Fully engage at least three threads in the base. Post bases 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).
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.
