NEW PRODUCTS FOR 2015
PCZ/EPCZ
Post Caps
The new PCZ/EPCZ post caps enable one size to accommodate several post sizes. With post and header flanges now in-line, one PCZ or EPCZ model can accommodate several 4x or 6x post sizes for a variety of lighter-duty applications, including patio covers, trellises and interior framing. See page 67 for more information.
DTT1Z
Deck Tension Tie
The DTT1Z deck tension tie was designed to satisfy a new 2015 IRC provision that allows for four 750 lbs. lateral connections, instead of connecting to the floor joists in the house. The DTT1Z attaches with a 3â „8" screw fastened into wall plates or studs, thereby eliminating the need to access the joists within the house. See pages 46 and 209 for more information.
JBA and LBAZ
See page 84 for more information.
RPBZ
Retrofit Post Base
The new RPBZ retrofit post base serves as reinforcement for many post applications, such as braced patio covers, car ports, trellises and other structures. RPBZ can be installed in conjunction with the CPS composite plastic standoff to meet a 1" post standoff code requirement. A single RPBZ can be installed on a post that is flush to a corner, and two RPBZs can be installed at away from edge conditions to fortify the post base connection to resist both wind and seismic forces. See page 55 for more information.
TJC57
Jack Truss Connector
The new TJC57 extends this line of versatile connectors for jack trusses. Adjustable from 0 to 85 degrees (shipped with 67.5 degree bend). Nail hole locations are placed for easy installation. See page 153 for more information.
