Product Overview
RPBPC Retrofit Post Base
ORNAMENTAL RETROFIT POST BASE PC/ZMAX
The Outdoor Accents® RPBPC retrofit post base is designed to reinforce existing posts and columns. The single, versatile model will fit on any size post consisting of a double 2x4 or larger. RPBPC can also be used to reinforce new post-base connections in braced carports, patio covers, decks and other structures. The RPBPC can be installed with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1" post standoff code requirement. A single RPBPC can be installed on a post that is flush with a corner, and two RPBPCs can be installed at away-from-edge conditions to fortify the post-base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces.
Outdoor Accents heavy-duty connector screws install easily and provide excellent holding strength for post-to-flange connections. This retrofit post base is made of ZMAX® galvanized steel for superior corrosion resistance and features a stylish black powder-coat finish for added beauty. See additional Corrosion Information.
