Product Overview
BCS2-2/4 Post Cap w/ Double-Shear Nailing
The BCS is designed to connect a multi-ply member beam to a post. The dimensions of this post cap accommodate the narrower width of multiple 2x members on top of the post. The BCS provides both lateral and uplift support and features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points for optimal strength.
Key Features
Opposing flanges provide increased lateral resistance
Double-shear nailing for optimal strength
Sized specifically for multi-2x widths
Material:18 gauge
Finish: Galvanized, ZMAX® coating, or stainless steel; see Corrosion Information
Installation
Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
Do not install bolts into pilot holes
Install dome nails on beam; drive nails at an angle through the beam into the post below to achieve the table loads
