1. Allowable loads have been increased 33% and 60% for
earthquake or wind loading with no further increase
allowed; reduce where other loads govern.
2. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long,
10d 0.148" dia. x 3" long.

Cap/Base
Lally column caps provide adequate bearing length for larger girder reactions.
MATERIAL: 12 gauge FINISH: Simpson gray paint
INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
Fit the lally column cap over the lally column and attach to the girder.
CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

a 3 "diameter steel column
1. Loads may not be increased for short-term loading.
2. Allowable loads are determined using the lowest of the
bearing loads using Fc equal to 425 psi for SPF, 625 psi
for DF and 700 for LVL/PSL, or the 8 lally column capacity.
3. Loads are for a continuous beam.
4.Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to
transfer tension loads between spliced members by
means other than the lally column. The splice condition load
is 6750 lbs per beam side and the lally cap must be evenly
loaded.
5. To achieve lateral loads, LCC pipe must be welded to the column
with an fillet weld around the entire pipe.
6. NAILS: 16d 0.162" dia. x 3 long.
See page 16-17 for other nail sizes and information.
The BCS allows for the connection of 2-2xs to a 4x post or 3-2xs to a 6x
post. Double shear nailing between beam and post gives added strength! The
BC series offers dual purpose post cap/base for light cap or base connections.
MATERIAL: 18 gauge
FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX;
see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7.
INSTALLATION:
Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes.
If pilot holes are bolted, no additional load is achieved.
BCS: install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through
the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads
BC: install with 16d commons or 16dx2 joist hanger nails.
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.
Available with additional corrosion protection. Check with factory.
