CPS/PBV Standoff Bases

The PBV is a hidden standoff post base. Two different sizes fit a variety of posts shapes.

Material: 14 gauge galvanized steel

Finish: Textured powder-coated flat black paint or galvanized

Order:

For powder-coated flat black, order PBV6PC or PBV10PC. For galvanized coating order PBV6 or PBV10. For kit containing Simpson Strong-Tie® Strong-Drive® SDS screws, RFB bolt, SET 1.7 adhesive, and powder coated PBV, order PBV6KT or PBV10KT.

The CPS is a Composite Plastic Standoff designed for increased concrete surface area.

Material: Engineered composite plastic

Installation: PBV and CPS

Post:

•Drill a 3/4" diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post.

•Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie® SET Epoxy-Tie® adhesive.

•Insert all-thread rod and allow epoxy to set and cure.

•Secure standoff to post using four 10d nails except PBV which uses four Simpson Strong-Tie SDS screws.

Concrete:

•Drill a 3/4" diameter hole per anchor design (see footnote 2 below).

•Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie SET Epoxy-Tie adhesive. Insert post subassembly into hole and allow epoxy to set and cure.

•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).
