BCS Post Cap with Double-Shear Nailing

The BCS is designed to connect a multi-ply member beam to a post. The dimensions of this post cap accommodate the narrower width of multiple 2x members on top of the post. The BCS provides both lateral and uplift support and features double-shear nailing that distributes the load through two points for optimal strength.

Please refer to the manufactures website for more in depth details on wood construction connectors; technical and installation notes
