It eliminates the need to drive nails into end grain, reducing split risk and improving structural integrity at the connection point. The LPC4Z can be installed after beams are already positioned, which simplifies sequencing on framing projects. Additional nails can be driven to increase uplift load capacity when the application demands it. This connector is suited for licensed contractors, framing crews, and experienced structural DIYers working on decks, pergolas, post-and-beam framing, and similar load-bearing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LPC4Z is intended for use with 4x dimensional lumber in residential and light commercial framing applications. Its adjustable design accommodates minor alignment variations in the field, making it practical for new construction as well as repair and retrofit work. Typical installations include deck post-to-beam connections, pergola corner assemblies, and structural framing where perpendicular multi-member connections are required. Framing contractors and deck builders are the primary installers of this connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance in exposed or treated-lumber environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable design accommodates four wood members meeting at right angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates end-grain nailing, reducing the risk of lumber splitting during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be installed after beams are set, improving job-site sequencing flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts additional nails to increase uplift load capacity as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style structural connector for use with 4x dimensional lumber in post-and-beam framing, deck construction, and pergola assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified framing contractor or structural trade professional in accordance with applicable building codes. Fasten with the nail count and size specified on the connector or in the applicable load table for the required load condition. Do not substitute fastener types or reduce fastener count, as this directly affects rated load capacity. No special tools beyond a standard hammer or pneumatic nailer are required for fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLumber Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4x\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SIMPSON STRONG TIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: LPC4Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525143068978,"sku":"LPC4Z","price":185.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/78494bdde2d60ed893c08aabf43480de_eb65c005-d5bd-44d4-ac18-38c0b4ab4081.jpg?v=1785465392","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-lpc4z-post-cap-z-max-4x","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
