Product Overview
CBS46 Column Base
The CBS is designed to be the interface between columns and their foundations. The main function of this column base is to link the column to the concrete footing surface and thereby transmit the structure’s stresses to the foundation. The 1" standoff of the CBS meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash.
Key Features
- Installs with bolts and provides tested capacity
- 1″ standoff for areas potentially exposed to water
- Bolt-hole locations that meet code requirements in wood posts
Material
- See table
Finish
- Galvanized; available in HDG
Installation
- Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes
- Install with two machine bolts
- Install CBS with bottom of standoff flush to top of concrete
- 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)
