Options for concealed post base

[atrizzy]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for something like the Simpson CPTZ concealed post base, but that has a bit more shear capacity, short of designing a custom plate.
Does anybody know of any manufacturers in North America that supply these sorts of products?

Maybe MiTek/USP connectors:

But probably need a custom. The CPTZ is 10gauge, so you are already getting in plate material territory.

Rothoblaas might be an option for you Link. I know they distribute out of Golden for my neck of the woods, not sure where in BC you're at? The rep I've worked with has been helpful in the past.

Be forewarned that the basis for their capacities is... different. They essentially recommend taking the Eurocode capacities, and applying a modification factor to them. I've only used select products and managed to avoid doing this (directly calculated capacities to O86 instead), but thought that this practice of modifying Eurocode capacities was a bit odd.
