Product Overview
BPS 5/8-6 Bearing Plate Slotted Hole
The BPS is designed to provide a greater bearing surface than standard-cut washers and help distribute the load at critical connections. This bearing plate features a slotted hole that allows for adjustability to account for bolts that are not in the middle of the sill plate. The BPS offers increased flexibility while meeting the latest code requirements for 2x4 and 2x6 walls.
