Simpson Strong-Tie Adjustable Post Cap

The Simpson Strong-Tie LPCZ™ Adjustable Post Cap reliably connects 4x or 6x beams and posts for wood framing applications. Its innovative two-piece design enables straightforward installation and flexibility for new builds or retrofitting existing structures.

Built with durable, corrosion-resistant ZMAX®-coated steel, this post cap offers enhanced protection against the elements and ensures long-lasting performance. By avoiding end-grain nailing, the LPCZ™ post cap delivers stronger and more secure connections, making it ideal for decks, patios, and similar projects.

• Stronger than angled nailing or screw fastening; eliminates nailing into end grain
• Can be installed after beams have been put in place
