Typical CBQ-SDS2
Installation
The CBQ uses Simpsons SDS screws, which allows for fast installation,
reduced reveal and high capacity, provides a greater net section area of the
column compared to bolts.
MATERIAL: See table.
FINISH: Galvanized, available in HDG with HDG screws.
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Install Simpsons SDS x2 wood screws, which are provided
with the column base. (Lag screws will not achieve the
same load.)
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.
