Fabricated from 16-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel, it provides corrosion resistance suited to treated-lumber and exterior applications. The cap accommodates T-shaped outer corner configurations and allows post-installation attachment after beam placement, which simplifies sequencing on the job site. Licensed contractors and experienced builders install this connector where code-compliant load transfer between posts and beams is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis post cap is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame structures, including decks, pergolas, covered porches, and structural framing systems. The adjustable design makes it practical for repair and retrofit work where beam placement has already occurred. Its T-corner geometry supports intersecting beam layouts that standard fixed caps cannot accommodate. Installers working with pressure-treated lumber will find the Z-Max coating appropriate for ACQ and other corrosive preservative treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance with treated lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable design allows attachment after beam placement, aiding installation sequencing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports T-shaped outer corner beam configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for nominal 6x posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates the need for toenailing at the post-to-beam connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style structural connector for nominal 6x lumber posts in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified contractor familiar with structural connector requirements under the applicable building code. Fasten with the nail or screw pattern specified on the connector label or in the manufacturer load tables — do not substitute fastener type or count. Verify that post and beam lumber dimensions match the connector sizing before fastening. Consult local building codes and the applicable version of the IBC or IRC for load path and inspection requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16-gauge Z-Max galvanized steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6x nominal lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 pounds\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: LPC6Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIMPSON STRONG-TIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51523684860210,"sku":"LPC6Z","price":281.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/78494bdde2d60ed893c08aabf43480de.jpg?v=1785443521","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/simpson-strong-tie-lpc6z-6x-adjustable-post-cap-z-max","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
