Simpson RPBZ Retrofit Post Base Zmax

The Simpson RPBZ Retrofit Post Base ZMAX is a metal bracket designed for retrofitting existing wood posts onto concrete footings or foundations. The RPBZ features a strong and durable design that provides a secure and stable connection between the post and the foundation.

The RPBZ base is made of galvanized steel with a ZMAX coating, which provides added corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for use in outdoor and harsh environments. The retrofit design of the RPBZ allows for easy installation without the need to remove or replace the existing post.

The RPBZ base has a two-part design with a standoff plate and a post base plate. The standoff plate is installed between the wood post and the concrete foundation, while the post base plate is secured to the concrete with concrete anchors. The two plates are then bolted together, creating a strong and secure connection.

Using the Simpson RPBZ Retrofit Post Base ZMAX ensures that the wood post is lifted off the concrete surface, reducing the risk of moisture damage and wood rot. Additionally, the RPBZ base meets code requirements for post-to-concrete connections, ensuring the safety and stability of the structure.

The RPBZ base is compatible with a wide range of post sizes, including 4x4, 4x6, and 6x6 posts. The compact design of the RPBZ also allows it to be used in tight spaces, such as against a wall or in a corner.
