Simpson Strong-Tie PPB66-6Z PPBZ™ Porch Post Base for 6x6 Post and 6 in. Slab (Pack of 4)

The Simpson Strong-Tie® PPBZ porch post base offers a simplified, one-time installation designed to support permanent porch framing throughout all stages of construction. This design eliminates the need for temporary vertical support and streamlines the subcontractor scheduling process while still providing adequate safety to enable full access for installers/inspectors. The porch post base is fastened to the footing with two Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo™ masonry screws when framing the porch roof. Then, when the time is right, the concrete contractor is able to complete the last phase of the porch slab without the interference of temporary vertical support and without the framer having to return to the jobsite after the slab has hardened. Designed to withstand vertical construction loads prior to embedment in concrete, the PPBZ will support the weight of most framed porches and overhangs.

This Simpson product is designed for construction, connector, fastening, anchoring, and structural applications where dependable performance, durability, and jobsite-ready installation matter.
