Simpson Strong-Tie MPB88Z MPBZ ZMAX Galvanized Moment Post Base for 8×8 w/ SDS Screws

Simpson Strong-Tie MPB88Z MPBZ ZMAX Galvanized Moment Post Base for 8×8 w/ SDS Screws

The MPBZ is specifically designed to provide moment resistance for wood columns and posts. With its innovative sleeve design, the MPBZ encapsulates the post and keeps it from rotating at its base when lateral loads are applied at the top. This provides both the specifier and the contractor with greater design options and the opportunity to reduce the need for bracing, creating more unobstructed views. This innovative off-the-shelf solution has been engineered and tested to save specifiers and contractors the time and expense involved in designing, calculating and ordering custom-fabricated parts. Also available for 4×4 and 6×6 posts.

• One-piece design simplifies installation
• Post size: 8×8
• Made from 12-gauge steel
• ZMAX galvanization offers extra corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-wood applications
