1) 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.
2) Minimum nail embedment shall be 8 nail diameters (typ).

Composite Post Bases – CPB series
The CPB is made of corrosion resistant composite material
compatible with preservative treated lumber. Provides code
required 1˝ stand-off and can be used with rough lumber sizes.
Materials: High Strength composite
Installation:
• Attach base to post with (4) 10d HDG nails.
• Attach post to concrete using 1/2˝ diameter rod into concrete and
extend into wood member.
• Not recommended for fence posts or other unrestrained (not
fixed or fastened at top) applications. These anchors are not
designed to resist overturning (moment) loads.
