Materials: See chart
Finish: G90 galvanizing
Options: KCBQ models available in rough/full sizes.
KCBQ44, KCBQ46, KCBQ66 and KCBQ88 are
available in Hot-dip galvanized. To order, add
HDG to stock number, as in KCBQ44-HDG.
Codes: Load values are derived from data submitted to
various North American building code evaluators.
Installation:
• Use all specified fasteners. See Product Notes, page 10.
• WS2 Wood Screws, 1/4˝ dia. x 2˝ long, are supplied with KCBQ
Column Bases.
• Not recommended for fence posts or other unrestrained (not
fixed or fastened at top) applications. These bases are not
designed to resist overturning (moment) loads.
• All models require a minimum edge distance of 3˝.
• Bolted models feature diamond holes for temporary nail fastening
to facilitate drilling and bolting.
• Embed column base with bottom of base plate flush to concrete.

2) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).
3) Concrete compressive strength shall be 2,000 psi or greater at 28 days.
5) Factored resistances are based on the use of either nails or bolts; nail and bolt values cannot be combined.
6) Bolts shall conform to ASTM A 307 or better.
