The new CPTZ post base incorporates a knife plate with a
standoff base. It achieves a clean, concealed look while
providing a 1" standoff height above concrete. The CPTZ is
installed with 1/2" diameter galvanized pins (supplied). The 1"
standoff height is code-required when supporting permanent
structures that are exposed to weather or water splash, or in
basements. The standoff reduces the potential for decay at post
or column ends.
