LPC AC 52 Caps Bases AC/LPC/LCE Post Caps PC/EPC Post Caps PC Typical PC Post Cap Installation Typical EPC End Post Cap Installation A custom connection for post-beam combinations at medium design loads. MATERIAL: PC 12 gauge; PC-16 16 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. OPTIONS: For end conditions, specify EPC post caps, providing dimensions are in accordance with table; see illustration. Some PC and EPC models are available in rough sizes. For heavy duty applications, see CC and CCQ series. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart.

Allowable loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 2. Lateral loads are in the direction parallel to the beam. 3. Allowable loads are for nails only. 4.Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions. 5.Spliced conditions must be detailed by the Designer to transfer tension loads between spliced members by means other than the post cap. 4.

Allowable loads have been increased for earthquake or wind load durations with no further increase allowed; reduce where other load durations govern. 2. Loads apply only when used in pairs. Typical ACE Installation Typical LCE4 Installation (For 4x or 6x lumber) The LCE4s universal design provides high capacity while eliminating the need for rights and lefts. For use with 4x or 6x lumber. LPC Adjustable design allows greater connection versatility. MATERIAL: LCE4 20 ga; AC, ACE, LPC4 18 ga; LPC6 16 ga FINISH: Galvanized. Some products available in Z-MAX and stainless steel; see Corrosion-Resistance, page 6-7. INSTALLATION: Use all specified fasteners. See General Notes. Install all models in pairs. LPC 2 beams may be used if 10dx1 nails are substituted for 10d commons. CODES: See page 12 for Code Listing Key Chart. 3. LPC lateral load is in the direction parallel to the beam. 4.MIN nailing quantity and load values fill all round holes; MAX nailing quantities and load values fill round and triangle holes. 5.Uplift loads do not apply to splice conditions. 6.
