Elevated Post Bases - EBG, EPB & EPBH series
These post bases allow installers to pre-align posts and pre-set post
heights above concrete floors or footings. By eliminating
post-to-concrete contact, moisture damage is reduced. Elevated
post bases are ideal for building carports, decks or porches. All
series feature convenient nail fastening to post.

1) Lateral loads (F1 and F2) are for conditions where pipe extends no more than 1" above the concrete surface.
2) Factored resistances have been increased 15% for short-term loads such as wind and earthquake; reduce for
other load durations in accordance with the code.
3) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).

Allows height adjustments of post after installation. A maximum height adjustment of 4˝ can be achieved
with this product. Adjustments may be required if original installation is not exact, if there is a greater slope
on a deck than estimated, or if there is heaving or sinking of the post beyond the initial installation. Embed
in concrete a minimum of 6˝. Useful for reducing moisture damage.
Materials: 16 gauge tube; 12 gauge steel U-bracket
Finish: Hot-dip galvanized
