Simpson Strong-Tie CBS/CBSQ are a sturdy cast in place column base that includes a 1" standoff that meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash. The CBSQ includes Stong-Drive SDS screws which allow for fast installation, reduced reveal and high capacity.

California Residents: WARNING

•1" standoff of the CBSQ meets code requirements for structural posts installed in basements or exposed to weather or water splash
•Included fasteners provide faster installation than bolts
•SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws that provide a greater wood net section area than bolts

•Use all specified fasteners; see General Notes.
•Install 1/4" x 2" Strong-Drive SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws, which are provided with the column base. (Lag screws will not achieve the same load.)
•Install CBSQ with bottom of standoff flush to top of concrete
•Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
