The PBS features a 1" standoff height. It reduces the potential for decay at post and column ends. MATERIAL: PB 12 gauge; PBS see table. FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX or HDG; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. 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). PB: Holes are provided for installation with either 16d commons or bolts for PB66 and PB66R; all other models use 16d commons only. A 2" minimum sidecover is required to obtain the full load. PBS: Embed into wet concrete up to the bottom of the 1" standoff base plate. A 2" minimum side cover is required to obtain the full load. Holes in the bottom of the straps allow for free concrete flow. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for earthquake or wind loading; no further increase allowed; reduce where other loads govern. 2. PBS Downloads may not be increased for short-term loading. 3. PBS Designer to design concrete for shear capacity. 4. PBS For higher downloads, solidly pack grout under 1" standoff plate before installing into concrete. Base download on column or concrete, according to the code. 5.Downloads shall be reduced where limited by buckling capacity of the post. 6. When using structural composite lumber posts, bolts must be applied to the wide face of the post. 7. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long. See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information. PB Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory. Typical IS Installation Mitered edges ensure a tight fit when installed between joists. INSTALLATION: Install between joists. IS16 for 16" o.c. spacing; IS24 for 24" o.c. spacing. Follow insulation manufacturers installation instructions. Wear safety glasses, gloves and other appropriate safety equipment.
