Simpson Strong Tie Simpson Strong-tie Bcs2-2/4z Post Cap, Zmax Coated Steel

The Simpson Strong-Tie BCS2-2/4Z is a double-post cap engineered to connect two 2×2 studs to a 4×4 post with enhanced structural support. This steel connector features a ZMAX coating that resists corrosion and rust, making it ideal for outdoor applications. The design functions as both a post cap and base, offering flexibility for light connection applications in decks, porches, fences, and other wood-frame projects.

By using double-shear nailing between the beam and post, this connector delivers added strength that keeps framing members securely aligned while reducing wobble and gaps. The design helps distribute forces evenly across the connection, reducing the risk of joint failure and extending the longevity of your construction project. Whether you're building a deck, reinforcing a porch structure, or constructing outdoor fencing, this post cap provides a reliable solution that meets building code requirements for wood framing.
