Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, is expanding its post frame construction offerings with the PFCB and PFC post frame connector brackets and angles. These dry-set, shear-resisting post frame connector brackets require no through-bolting; instead, the connectors come with Simpson Strong-Tie Strong-Drive® SDS Connector screws for a better, more intuitive installation experience.
Featuring heavy-duty steel construction, large corner embossments/stiffeners and value-engineered anchorage tables, these connectors provide high-performance, tested and code-listed uplift and shear loads. They have a G90 galvanized coating for long-lasting corrosion protection.
“Offering a robust alternative to embedded and wet-set solutions, our new PFC and PFCB connectors are ideal for post frame construction where installation speed, corrosion resistance and structural reliability are critical,” said Randy Daudet, group product manager for Simpson Strong-Tie. “They deliver a reliable, corrosion-resistant, dry-set solution that simplifies post frame foundations while meeting modern structural demands.”
PFC and PFCB connectors come in a wide range of sizes for use with glulam, nail-lam, planed nail-lam and solid sawn posts. They feature built-in, hand-removable washers to help prevent loss or fumbling on the jobsite.
