Simpson Strong-Tie BC46Z BC ZMAX Galvanized Post Cap for 4×6

The Simpson Strong-Tie BC46Z post cap is a reliable solution for connecting a beam to a 4×6 post in light-duty wood framing applications. Constructed from durable 18-gauge steel and finished with a ZMAX galvanized coating, this cap offers enhanced corrosion resistance, especially when used with pressure-treated lumber. Engineered to provide both uplift and lateral resistance, the BC46Z is ideal for decks, patio covers, and other wood-to-wood connections. Its opposing flanges ensure a more secure hold and contribute to increased stability.
